>Why do you care? Their sandbox their rules, and if you care because you want to contribute you’re still free to do so. Unless you’re an LLM I guess, but the rest of us should have no problem.

Exactly this. It's their decision to make; their consequences as well.

Then again I would have bet $1000 that gentoo disappeared 15 years ago. Probably around 2009? I legitimately havent even heard about them since at least that long.

So rejecting contributions from who might even still be around seems like a bad decision.
