I really love this discussion and the ideas in here ❤️
The way I see it is that almost everything is either asking for attention or giving attention. The attention that exists to give is much smaller than the attention that is being asked.
Creating a forum post, a ticket, a PR, an update on a PR - these are all requests for attention
Giving attention includes responding to posts, triaging tickets, reviewing PRs
