<!subteam^S01SHT8BSCU> are we wasting our times trying to maintain community connectors? Should we build something decentralised where people can just copy-paste the latest connector instead?

Hey Aidan, Airbyte CTO here. Fair point and I'm sorry for the frustration. Connector maintenance at scale is difficult and I know we haven't gotten it great, especially for community contributors putting in real effort. We care a lot about getting this right. We've been investing heavily in AI to help tackle connector quality across the long tail, though we aren't fully there yet. We know there's more to do here, and are trying to figure out the right balance. Don't have all the answers yet, but I wanted to let everyone know we hear you and are debating these internally too.

@Davin Chia (Airbyte) 4+ months to get a review 😞 😞 what can we expect short term?

@Aidan Lister can you send me a list of PRs you are waiting on? The breadth is challenging so we are re-looking our contributor processes and I'd like to case study yours as data points.

Thank you - I have forwarded it to our devs.

thank you
