I've seen a lot of advocacy that programmers should be responsible for their programs similar to how civil engineers are responsible for their bridges.

So that would mean you shouldn't eg. as a kernel maintainer, merge a new filesystem until you're certain it won't destroy user data.

But that's a very high bar - it takes a lot of time, effort, and skill to make a filesystem like that. And many contributors may get discouraged before they get there.

Isn't that gatekeeping?
