I think what could reduce a risk of similar dramas in the future and the disconnect of Core and part of the bitcoin community is having a person in Core responsible solely for communication with plebs.
It wouldn’t even necessarily be a dev, just a tech-savvy autism-free person with good social skills that can communicate with Core devs and then with plebs in different channels (x, spaces, blogposts etc).
That said, Bitcoin Optech is kinda doing that and they do fantastic job, but it’s clearly not enough and there’s a lot of demand in the community for such communication. Otherwise we leave this job to podcastoors guessing what Core team is up to and misinterpreting it heavily.
In that way we would have devs doing dev things and not spending their time and nerves on dramas that further fuel burnouts and disincentive working on the project.
