Please do notice there's a new public article by RP:
https://www.linux.com/audience/maintainer-confidential-opportunities-and-challenges-of-the-ubiquitous-but-under-resourced-yocto-project/

"Maintainer confidential: Opportunities and challenges of the
ubiquitous but under-resourced Yocto Project.
Maintainers are an important topic of discussion. I’ve read a few
perspectives, but I’d like to share mine as one of the lesser-known
maintainers in the open source world."

LWN has picked it up as well:

(many of the comments are the usual 'yocto is hard' fare, which should
be treated like the weather - inevitable)
