Alice “psykose” who is easily responsible for the highest number of commits per author over the past year has decided to step down from maintaining her packages.

She hasn’t decided what to do next but likely “catch up on a year of sleep.” She doesn’t believe that this will ultimately impact Alpine Linux itself but hopes that others will pick-up what’s needed to keep on going with the package maintenance.

    Is it an unavoidable situation that projects that are run by passionate individuals will burn those people out? Or is their more projects can do to ask those that contribute the most to slow down and not put the work before themselves?

      It’s unavoidable. Nothing drives a project like real passion; nothing burns through people like real passion. There’s nothing to be said to such people as they wouldn’t listen.

      All there is to do is annoy them as little as possible and admire the result.
