I agree that dumping a project in the hopes that someone else will swoop in to do the hard part is a pipe dream. OP is going to find out quickly that it just doesn't happen.

But you lost me here. I don't see how most developers would think there's some issue with dumping code on Github.

For example, I could recommend some avenues for finding useful software that aren't trawling through random Github projects, if that's the problem. If Github had 100x more dead projects, it really shouldn't affect anyone.



I did not say it is an issue. Saying it is “the point of open source” is completely misguided.


Ah, I misinterpreted your response to them as a stand-alone point.
