Wait, when did libsql become popular? As I recall, the libsql startup burned some goodwill when they tried to publicly shame SQLite, after forking SQLite and barely changing its code[1]. Looking at the libsql repo today, it looks like the contributors are still on the payroll of that startup.
Beyond that, the insinuation that good OSS must conform to Github social norms is silly given SQLite's track record of success. The maintainers are smart to direct their limited time and resources into development and not into community management or clout-chasing.
