It sounds like a similar question I failed to ask when I started my business/freelancing. What does the end look like for X? (where X is a package in this case) |

The biggest problem is when you're no longer using your own open source package and nobody is interested in talking over maintenance - even when you have tens of contributors. For me https://github.com/raml2html/raml2html comes to mind. Plenty of contributors over time, over 1100 stars, but nobody who wants to take ownership, and I stopped using RAML years ago.
So absolutely yes, but there's gotta be people who want to take it on. For me the question is: what do you do what that doesn't happen? Just let the project die a slow death? |

Hi all. I've put up a new post on The Maintainer’s Lifecycle, based on some of the discussions on #29.
It's more questions than answers, deliberately so 🥳 — but it's something I think is important.
Go check it out: The Maintainer’s Lifecycle
