Excellent reminder. It very often feels like this place forgets where most of the good stuff comes from.

And that it's dying and needs high-quality contributors (not high-quantity)

Passionate and knowledgeable people will always do stuff, and if it's valuable others will pick up on it.

No evidence for this. What you're saying is similar to Linus's law, which has been disproven.

		Aren't all great free projects testament to this? I do not understand your point.

But you have to keep going with that; there's a lot of space under "will pick up on it."

This can mean both "contribute and be an awesome part of a community" and also "steal, exploit and use for disgusting evil."
