RFNM - Request For New Maintainer

in blog Matt Layman
original entry RFNM - Request For New Maintainer

The Pull Requests piled up. Each new PR added to the weight reminding me that I was not being a responsive maintainer. I felt guilty. Guilt: A feeling held by many open source maintainers who can’t (or don’t want to) continue on a project that they manage. Feeling guilty about contributing to open source is terrible. You feel like you’re letting people down or like you owe them something more.
