Ask HN: What defines a popular OSS maintainer for free GitHub Copilot?

Edit: It turns out I supposedly do get free Copilot after all - must have been a syncing hickup. I have write access on two >1k star repos, and multiple >200 star repos. Apparently that's enough to get free Copilot. I'd love to hear more examples of who does and does not qualify for a free subscription. This is how vaguely Github describes the criteria: >People who maintain popular open source projects receive a credit to have 12 months of GitHub Copilot access for free. A maintainer of a popular open source project is defined as someone who has write or admin access to one or more of the most popular open source projects on GitHub.
