It seems to come down to different views on what this means. Some people want leadership who will listen to user demands and apply pressure to the community to push them to work on things in those directions.
Clojure has more leadership along the lines of "hey, other devs, I am open sourcing this cool stuff that I think is good. Here is my philosophy on why I like these types of libraries and would love contributions if you agree with the direction. I'm happy there are other directions being taken as well, that's great. Oh, also, some non-contributors have been making demands that I spend time on their problems and my answer is a firm no."
I think it is a hugely positive aspect, but I also open source my own libraries and have the same feelings towards people who make demands of me without being willing to contribute so I'm certainly biased.
I assume this is on community management. I am not taking part in Clojure surveys so its fairly obvious to me why my opinion is not reflected in the community surveys.
I got to admit that maybe community management might have improved in the last few years.
That's a weird take, considering it's consistently called out as one of the most positive aspects of Clojure on surveys.
