I maintain FOSS projects (2018)

Nice Open Source advice from Sir_Cmpwn:

> My main role is to empower people who contribute to do work they enjoy, which benefits the project, and which keeps them interested in coming back to do more.

> I’d rather have something done slowly, correctly, and by a contributor who is enjoying their work than quickly and by a contributor who is burnt out and stressed.

> I would much rather help someone familiarize themselves with the codebase and tooling necessary for them to solve their own problems and send a patch, even if it takes ten times longer than fixing the bug myself.

> I would rather lose every user who is unwilling to attempt a patch than invest the resources of my contributors into work they’re uninterested in.
