> This is *exactly* what I think should be done. If you (in this case EU) depend on a project, go to its maintainers, and ask them what they need to continue doing what they do.
That's how I'm interpreting this call from the European Commission. Except that they know that if they talk to individual maintainers, they are going to miss some crucial (but pretty much invisible) project, so they published that call instead of asking projects individually.
And given that some maintainers do read LWN, this call is already reaching some of the right people.
