This is a stupid question, but why does sudo need hundreds of commits a month? Looking at the commits (https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/commits/main/?before=ff0b6bebceec5c7d01fd296300125d51325c6ff4+105) it's a lot of little changes and fixes, but it's really hard to follow. (1/2)

And when someone tries to help they are given kind of a brush off. This is a missed opportunity! Someone eager to jump in with a tiny fix could be your next maintainer. No shade to Todd here because the skills to grow a successful open source community are very different than those needed to maintain the code. The easiest answer is probably yeah, someone should just hire him and let him do his thing.
