This is very cool. I'm involved with an open source project that's similar to this, called 3Demos: https://3demos.ctl.columbia.edu/
On github at https://github.com/ccnmtl/3demos

It's closed source. [Trac](https://trac.edgewall.org/) is better.

rms comes from the old macho male programmer culture of, “logic and reason over all else”. The original hacker mindset of, “this is a meritocracy, and everyone who happens to be into programming is white and male. And there’s no problem with that.”
Eric S Raymond is the same way, but much, much worse. I don’t give him a pass, cause he has no clear vision or morality. He’s just a self-aggrandizing loser.
Linus Torvalds also grew up in that world, but is trying to change: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/16/167
