@evana @dpp @alice_i_cecile Great points. Maintaining libraries that we already know are valued, but are not so exciting for people to work on, is a tractable target for straight paid work. That is, we could just have an agency that hires developers to maintain and enhance them, doing its best to keep tabs on what remains widely used in allocating developer resources. It's would be state maintenance of public infrastructure, a straightforward public role.
