Open source exp-chat / lua-experience-chat

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to fork or learn from the new React BubbleChat to make it compatible with our games.

As Roblox has already open sourced various projects, such as Otter and react-lua, I’d also like it if the lua-experience-chat repository is also open sourced (https://github.com/roblox/lua-experience-chat)

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because I could learn about the causes of performance issues in my game relating to the BubbleChat and potentially fork a local copy to experiment with. It would also increase the transparency about the code running on our games given LuaPackages are now packaged in a compiled format and cannot be read by developers.
