In short, there is no understaffing on the merge (in fact the workload when you know the app well is quite low) but we will always have an understaffing on the '''Fixers''', '''Debuggers''' and '''Technical Debt Killers''' that I would call with the initials, the "'''FDK'''s" for the following (FDKs are those who work, mainly during a beta phase, to make the application stable and/or coherent, correct regressions, but also during the dev phases to reduce technical debt for example).

On the other hand, where the project is at risk is the lack of FDK (because it relies on a smaller team and it is an activity which requires a large investment of work, several full time equivalent). This is where the “bus factor” is located on a community project: on the FDK (I’ll let you see the definition of Bus Factor on Wikipedia).
