中文摘要
用 24 个月的 Git 贡献者分布对比 Envoy / Prometheus，把OTel 进度慢从感觉变成证据；对正在评估迁回 vendor SDK 的工程团队有直接参考价值作者画出 PHP / Ruby SDK 维护者高度集中在 2 人Go / .NET 健康度接近 Envoy 的对比图，并把 OTEP Spec Semantic Conventions 各语言 SDK 的锁死链拆给读者看，问题不在人少，而在binary stability gate + 极大 scope + 极少 maintainer三件套共振
English Summary
Mat Duggan trades intuition for evidence by plotting 24 months of Git contributor distributions against Envoy and Prometheus. The resulting spreadsheet shows PHP/Ruby SDK maintainers clustered on 2 people and Go/.NET at Envoy-like health, then walks through the OTEP -> Spec -> Semantic Conventions -> per-language SDK locking chain. The diagnosis isn't 'not enough people' but the resonance of three forces: binary stability gates, enormous scope, and very few maintainers.
