I certainly do. A community is _people_ not _projects_. You are _not_

I think that Randall is technically correct, even though his tone at
times can sound on the aggressive side, whether it is intentional or
not.

We all think we know what 'community' means, but we do use the term
where the word 'project' would be much more suitable.

'Community' _is_ a set of people, this is a definition of the word in English.
The openSUSE community is the set of people involved in the openSUSE project.

Therefore, examine your own use of the word 'community' and see if you
really mean 'project'. Houghi's signature in my view is currently
wrong, and should state project rather than community. The words are
not synonymous.
