I’d be interested to hear about options how established projects can make it attractive for young PhDs / postdocs to contribute. I mean, if others have worked on a project for a few years, it gets harder for new people to significantly move the project forward with a given time investment (e.g. a week or month or year of their life). So the older and larger a codebase is, the harder it is to attract young people, and one has to somehow actively promote and reward new contributors, no?
