Considering there have been almost 6000 commits to the repository in the last 21
days, I would question that claim.

gentoo-dev isn't really filled with  any  sort  aggression.   There  is  healthy
debate, especially considering the recent switch to Python 3.7  and  masking  of
most 3.6-only packages, but that rigorous scrutiny is a requirement for  such  a
strong distro.

There  have,  of  course,  been  exceptions,  such  as  when  bman  went  on  an
"unsanctioned Python crusade"  (removal  of  all  Python  2  packages;  not  the
greatest of ideas), however in general, the Gentoo community is one of the  most
alive and healthy I've seen in any Linux distribution.
