Flipper Devices Assigns Staff to Flipper Zero Firmware, Tightens Rules for 1 Million Users

Summary
Flipper Devices said it has assigned staff to keep Flipper Zero firmware maintained and support outside contributions after weeks of community concern that official development had gone quiet.
GitHub Discussions will now handle feature requests through a template-and-vote system, with the team reviewing the most-supported requests weekly instead of fielding unsorted messages across social channels.
700 KB of firmware flash had already pushed the company to stabilize firmware at version 1.0 in 2024, shift many functions into microSD-loaded apps, and focus mainly on infrastructure and critical bug fixes.
Updated contribution rules impose stricter pull-request review, especially for AI-generated low-level code and interface changes, while every firmware update must pass newly public QA integration tests.
More than 1 million users had made direct social-media contact unworkable, and the new process is meant to surface broader demand while bringing community members into part of regression testing.
