The Community Corrosive Effects of CLAs
>One problem is discoverability. GitHub lists forks in an un-sort-able manner.
This obviously doesn't solve the problem generally, but I recently found an extension called lovely-forks[1], that automatically shows the most starred fork for every github repository.

Fix it, Fork it, Fuck off
The post resonates with me as an OSS user and a contributor. Many a brave souls have taken to forking the project to fix the bugs but those forked projects almost always suffer from a discoverability problem. I have tried making fixes and tried forking projects only to discover that someone else has done it better elsewhere.
I've been burned by this problem often enough that I wrote a Chrome extension which would _tell_ me if there are any notable forks of the project I'm currently looking at on GitHub: https://github.com/musically-ut/lovely-forks .

Best Chrome Extensions to boost GitHub
Lovely forks is a chrome add-on built to bring your notice to notable forks (i.e., forks with the most stars) for GitHub projects. It helps to keep track of the community-appreciated fork by adding a subscription under the repository's name on the Github page of all projects with a link to that fork.

Uncurled: A book by Daniel Stenberg, creator of curl
I think the better submission link is
https://un.curl.dev/
Linking to the git repo for the book source, it's not immediately apparent how to begin reading.
- GitHub - bagder/uncurled: Uncurled - everything I know and learned about running and maintaining Open Source projects for three decades.
- LOL someone emailed the curl developer about a bug in path of building, and he remembered and posted it to github

Fix it, Fork it, Fuck off
Daniel Stenberg, the lead maintainer of cURL, has some interesting tweets about this topic. In fact several of the toxic comments he posts are from people who seem to lack a basic understanding of what the project even provides.

Just to provide some counterbalance there's also this: https://twitter.com/bagder/status/1552414274101940225
He has an interesting guide on his thoughts on maintaining open-source as well. Here's the People section: https://github.com/bagder/uncurled/blob/main/people/
