"Our" creates false intimacy too. "Our community" implies you belong to something. You cloned a repo. You filed an issue. You didn't join a community. You used software. But "our community" wraps you in belonging whether you asked for it or not. Contributors stay few & far between. Look at `Pyramid <https://trypyramid.com/>`_. A web framework that needs maintainers. `Remarkbox <https://remarkbox.com>`_ & `MakePostSell <https://makepostsell.com>`_ run on it. `RhodeCode <https://rhodecode.com>`_ runs on it. Vital resources like `PyPI <https://pypi.org>`_ itself run on it. "Our framework" carries weight that maybe five active maintainers shoulder.
