Way to never make that person ever help again. You go!

Welcome to Open Source software where its ok to help once and never again. Thats actually not even a bad thing.

Imagine there is this one project that kicks everyones autism and has many issues. But only a team of 100 people is allowed to change its code. I’d rather want the world to change the code and make it improve for everyones liking. Even if it was just one commit and never again.

I “maintain” (I don’t) a thing I made 5 years ago for playing Minecraft. I no longer care about it because I don’t play anymore, but over the years many people have submitted pull requests to improve it to the point there is very few miles of code that are from me.
