I've seen a vanload of tourists happily taking pictures of sheep on more than one occasion. New Zealand.
The faircode model assumes that contributions from random outside people are minor and that the bulk of the work is done by the founder(s). To the founders there is little actual benefit from being an open source project, anyway. I can understand the attraction of the model in that situation.
My ideal OSS project would be receiving a steady stream of contributions from a wide variety of people without an elite sub group that considers themselves to be "the authors", which would be obviously unsuited to the faircode model. Sadly few projects achieve that and are largely the work of one person.
IMO it depends on the situation/project.
I'm sure kiwifarms and stormfront will appreciate this service. Read between the lines in the FAQ.

Thanks for grabbing the chart.
My Stats 101 alarm bells go off whenever I see a graph that does not start with 0 on the Y axis. It makes the differences look bigger than they are.
The 'outsiders, gendered' which is the headline stat, shows a 1% difference between women and men. When their gender is unknown there is a 3% difference in the other direction (I'm just eyeballing the graph here as they did not provide their underlying data, lol wtf ). So, overall, the sexism effect seems to be about 4%.
That's a bit crap but does not blow my hair back. I was expecting more, considering what we know about gender pay gaps, etc.
