We all know why... as a condition of some monetary support. It does give a sour taste, really shows what core values are: money > community. I'll just focus on using elixir for a project instead.

I wish! Alas, the Gleam project continues to be under-funded and we have not got a single penny from any venture capital company.

If anyone would like to give me a large amount of money in exchange for my publishing a mirror on your git forge, please get in touch ;)

No I don't know this. Do you have any source for that?
