If 20 more companies did this, then it would pay for one developer for one year, don't you think?
Does a mature tool like curl really need a 100% full time employee? I don’t think so—that’s about 180 hours of development work per month. What updates does curl need to justify that amount of work, in perpetuity?
Mature doesn't mean it's static.
Needs a part time dev, part time QA engineer, part time product manager, part time tech writer, and a part time solutions architect for downstream and upstream.
