I wonder if every major open source project should adopt the way SQLite operates. No outside contributions at all


What is the meaning of "outside"? What if SQLite founder decides to step down. In case of `xz` a fresh insider was a malicious actor who was supposed to help keep up the maintenance. I think open-community projects like Linux Kernel have benefits as they won't die with founder interest waning, still there is more eyes to find issues very early.
