My point was not in the one-person aspect (I use fantastic software done by one person, I also develop some (used by a niche)), it is the bus factor that is worrisome.

Some projects die because the dev abandons them (slowly or abruptly). Usually you see this happening with time and have the time to turn around.

The bus factor is drastic. One day the project lives and the next day it is gone. There is nobody anymore to push PRs etc. As I said, you can have it picked up via a fork and hope for the best (= that current users will somehow know). havng a backup contibutor eevn just to make the transition is a nice thing to have.

> Seeing it here, how someone "shamelessly" (in their own words) adverts their own competing project and then uses dummy accounts to bend the voting and discussion in their favouring… that's definitely NOT how trust is build up. It's something which instantly makes me stay away from a project (better or not).

Not sure how this relates to my comment?
