Hi. I am one of the Linuxbrew maintainers. I understand that this may seem contradictory.
Linuxbrew has existed since a few years now (https://github.com/Linuxbrew). We just merged the linux part of the code into the main brew repo.
https://github.com/Linuxbrew/homebrew-core, where the formula reside, is still a separate project. But we all work closely together. The 4-5 linuxbrew maintainers joined the homebrew team and we are now a single team.
This does not add too much work for the initial homebrew maintainers.
The scope has grown a little bit, but nothing to be worried about. And the windows part is "just" Linux running on Windows, so actually there is not much difference there. That part is not so well tested though, because we do not have so many users on Windows, but we hope to be able to improve this part if needed.
On the other side some decisions have been made lately: less from source builds, less options ... this will reduce our workload too.
