"This will be repeated every 4 weeks"

This sentence alone tells me it's not really going to be made open-source.
You don't need to open-source something repeatedly.

They are only open sourcing the spaghetti that sticks to the wall.
Carefully curated and redacted/obscured/replaced where appropriate.
Probably removing hard coded rules like "always show musk tweets" and stuff like that
