HashiCorp Vault Forked into OpenBao
I can't discern how many are just those "dependabot" bumps but the 1400 forks show some are active https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/forks?include=active&page... including CircleCI who I would think have a stake in a libre Nomad https://github.com/circleci/nomad/tree/circleci/release-1.5....
Now maybe their goals don't align with the community, and/or they don't want to be in the maintainer business for such a project, but better than nothing

IBM Planning to Acquire HashiCorp
FWIW, most of the code and docs contributions have come from non-IBMers [0]. That said, IBM has done a lot of great work building the foundation and initial community and without them, OpenBao wouldn't be here. :-)
Speaking for myself, but I do not get any monetary compensation from IBM and I suspect this is true for all of the other non-IBM contributors.

Software Company HashiCorp Is Weighing a Potential Sale
on the off chance one hasn't been tracking it, there were several "we don't need your stinking BuSL" projects when this drama first started:
https://github.com/opentofu#why-opentofu (Terraform)
https://github.com/openbao/openbao#readme (Vault)
and I know of several attempts at Vagrant <https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/forks> but I don't believe one of them has caught traction yet
There are also some who have talked about an "open Nomad" but since I don't play in that space I can't speak to it
- OpenBAO – Fork of HashiCorp's Vault

OpenBao – FOSS Fork of HashiCorp Vault

HashiCorp Vault Forked into OpenBao
Well, lucky you, because now there's new management :-)
In all seriousness, you may want to open an issue <https://github.com/openbao/openbao/issues> as they have weighed in on a few threads here saying they're open to suggestions
Having implemented a reader for 1Password's "old" opvault format, I would imagine the threat model is not just searching, so it may be a heavy lift to coerce ~~Vault~~ OpenBao's mental model over into one that can be used as a consumer a password manager but I'll admit that would be pretty cool to unify vaultwarden and OpenBao into one stop shopping for all one's cryptographic needs
