We advocate for a paradigm shift in supporting free/libre and open source software (FLOSS) ecosystem maintenance, from focusing on individual projects to monitoring a whole organic system of the entire FLOSS ecosystem, which we call software meta-maintenance. We discuss challenges of building a global source code management system, a global issue management system, and FLOSS human capital index, based on the blockchain technologies.
