I used Linux as an example because I know it way better than other projects, but we also have Debian that is mainly based on volunteers work and that has some similarities as well: - They use mailing lists, for discussions and bugs - They have their own tooling and/or specific tooling shared with other projects as well - Most of the work is somehow integrated together (in the same apt repositories and/or project) even if it is also split and distributed (not everybody can work on the all the packages if I understand well). - They are also big. And Debian also uses their own forge as well for maintaining individual packages. But I didn't mention Debian in my previous mail because I also don't know it well, so maybe other people that are also Debian contributors or package maintainers could correct me and/or tell us what enables Debian to scale.
