Hi, thanks for inviting me into the repository to raise concerns I have.

Do pull requests I make in nodejs/node get landed here?
How will Ayo deal with breaking changes with Node.js? (disagreements on APIs etc)
How will Ayo deal with reviewing code and handling issues? Is there any overlap between existing Node.js collaborators and Ayo?

We’re figuring this out in https://github.com/ayojs/ayo/issues/9, but presumably we’re going to want to include upstream patches to some degree, yes.

Is there any overlap between existing Node.js collaborators and Ayo?

If you go by the list in https://github.com/nodejs/node/#collaborators, I think that’s me, Jeremiah, maybe Alexey?

I don’t think we have figured out answers/discussion venues for the other questions

@benjamingr my responses as just one member (please don't take them as authoritative):

The way I'm thinking about it is that for the time being, we just mirror changes from Node over here.
For the time being, simply by mirroring them to preserve drop-in-ability. Eventually, I have no interest in retaining compatibility with Node Core at all, because that would involve participating in and interacting with a community with deeply dysfunctional governance.
There's already plenty of overlap. In fact, most folks who are part of this repository are current or former collaborators on the Node project, including multiple current-and-former TSC and CTC members.
