In my personal view, a successful security attestation program would provide the primitives enabling various models of that nature to flourish, without dictating a specific solution or business model.

Agreed.


Open source communities are widely different:

 Again agreed.

  • Some communities are mostly corporate-based, some are very much community-driven.
A model that works for a WordPress plugin built by a single maintainer is probably not going to be a good fit for Chromium.

Agreed.


But hopefully, there are primitives that would enable both projects to find a model that works for them.

Agreed...but I think the existing 'governance primitives' *heavily* favor corporate...or just moneyed...interests...who have been unsustainably consuming the OSS community/resource at the lowest price they can pay...i.e. $0 in most of the current models...because they can...as per usual with market dynamics.  I think many can see this is not a responsible nor sustainable use under a natural resources frame.   

I think it would be nice if the 'primitives' you and others describe showed the capability of addressing this (existential) responsibility/sustainability problem.
