Far more interesting question: who _cares_? The notion of "legitimacy" in
that context is, AFAICS, based on unfounded assumption that there somebody
owes you something - be it their time, their "loyalty", etc. Developers'
minds are not resources you might have a claim upon.

If you make a sufficient nuisance of yourself by playing marketing games,
you will certainly be flamed, but not because of some mystical drain on
resources. Landing pointless drivel in mailboxes is quite sufficient on
its own...

As as aside, ESR's understanding of the mechanisms making developers'
community work had been repeatedly proven to be... inadequate. FWIW, he
seems to be trying to shoehorn everything into an ideology and results are
laughable.
