@mwb@fosstodon.org @hynek@mastodon.social Aye, your write-up of why you felt a fork was necessary is excellent, and you seem to have a good idea of what you're letting yourself in for :)
It's just frustrating that the overall collective endeavour that is open source still relies so heavily on "maintainer A burns out, maintainers B, C, and D take up the burden" rather than being able to figure out more reliable ways to mitigate the frequency of burnout amongst project founders facing ever increasing user expectations.

@ancoghlan@mastodon.social @mwb@fosstodon.org I mean what happened here is that any kind of community involvement was refused to the point of taking projects private. That’s not quite the typical playbook.
