I don't judge whether this is good or bad because I understand why individuals do it as well that I've worked with, but I do strongly want to present the industry sentiment about this which is more aligned with what you just said and people should know that when thinking about their resumes.
We have a small list of rules that are not super complicated:
1. Look for OSLabs, Open Source Labs, and often "product incubated by" with that. It's usually the last line of that item on the resume
2. Look for "Tech Talks" "sponsored by" Single Sprout, Bractlet, or Jeeny
3. Look for jobs with no months specified and just year, e.g. 2021 to 2022
After a while you get to know the more common projects:
1. [https://github.com/orgs/open-source-labs/repositories](https://github.com/orgs/open-source-labs/repositories)
2. And also, if you are unsure, go to the LinkedIn, click on the company name, and see if the description says "Open Source Labs" or "OSLabs" in it.
