I think there are many things that only Benoît knows, and that only he 
has access to, but that are necessary for the language to persist or at 
least remain in distributions. Unfortunately, this leads to the fact 
that the bus factor* in Gambas is IMO very high (please pardon the 
cynical name).

This could also be a reason why, for example, companies decide against 
introducing an otherwise extremely practical language, simply because 
the future of the language seems uncertain.

But if there were a team - it doesn't matter what you call it officially 
- that shared all the necessary information, i.e. ssh keys, passwords, 
access to important information, also documentation, then the future 
would be a bit safer. And if an organisational form could be found that 
would show this to the outside world, it would also document to the 
world that the further development of Gambas does not rest on the 
shoulders of just one person.

I like all political ideas that are expressed. Because then they can be 
discussed.

Alles Gute
