alt Hacker News> Whether code was typed by hand is beside the point. What matters is who is responsible for it once it enters the browser. Ladybird is becoming a browser for real users. The people introducing changes to it must be the people who decide those changes belong in the project, and who will answer for the consequences.
It probably accelerated the decision, but I don't think that's all of it. I think they're moving in the WebKit/Safari direction: open for you to look at, but not really an open source project.

It's still open source, but not open for public contributions. That's pretty much how it was before the advent of these forges.

Webkit absolutely takes third party submissions. https://webkit.org/contributing-code/ .
I believe this is an external PR merged a few hours ago at the time of this writing. https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/66507
Safari does not accept third party submissions, but the chrome has never been open (even before Google Chrome recycled the term).
