Sorry, but I see little sense in what you are bringjng to this discussion. Chris's points sre explaining some systemic reasons WHY there is a dearth of contributors, and attempting to make a constructive plan to address them. Why should GHC not try to emulate a community that has fantasic cohesion, unity, and participation?
It is irrelevant why Rust has an advantage. Lets please emulate their successful strategies instead of in-fighting. To me it seems you are just attacking his view with bluster and ad hominem, with undertones of a personal vendetta against Rust.
