GitHub user liuneng1994 added a comment to the discussion: Add a new backend: Bolt
The comparison with GPU/Flink support is not appropriate. GPU and Flink support add new, non-overlapping capabilities to the ecosystem, whereas Bolt is essentially a downstream fork of Velox. These two cases are fundamentally different in nature, so drawing a direct analogy between them is misleading. Gluten still needs to maintain its own use cases, and the proposed community support model raises concerns. The idea of “assigning” community members sounds more like an internal work arrangement rather than participation driven by open-source interest. If those three members change roles or priorities in the future, this commitment may no longer hold. In that case, the sustainability assumption behind this support model would break. This makes the project feel closer to an internal corporate project, and it risks losing the essence of an open-source community. The current contributor base of Bolt is highly concentrated within ByteDance. At the moment, almost all open-source contributions to Bolt come from ByteDance. This situation reminds me of the ByteHouse and ClickHouse relationship: when an open-source compute engine fails to attract a broader and more diverse contributor base, it becomes problematic in the long run. I believe this would not be a positive outcome for the Gluten community either.
