> So... adding more work and burden to the community organizers?
💯 I think that's right. Creating a sustainable culture means investing time in making it more sustainable.
If we're maxed out in time for that community, then we should rework our priorities to make sustainability a higher priority. Or put another way, do less of other things.
Which is easier said than done because those other things tend to provide more dopamine. 😁

@CodenameTim In my experience, the reason the community leaders still doing more things is because some volunteer tasks have strict due date (need to cut a release, need to finish CFP review, need to host a conference at specific date). If the volunteers don't do things on time, the leaders ended up having to pick up the slack.
