Open source is hard. Being a maintainer is hard. I've seen a lot of good people burn themselves out trying to maintain / contribute to open source software.

I think this is a great blog post / talk (not mine) about the topic: https://snarky.ca/setting-expectations-for-open-source-parti...

"Here's a bit of real talk for people: I think working in OSS has made me more bitter and short-temperated".

Best wishes to the maintainer, hopefully time gives some perspective on the problems in the community and perhaps some ways forward.
