  • @tony why do they want to? At least in part for it to be useful, for at least some developers, right?

    yes - and no.

    if you are the programmer of CURL where the complete internet relies on, or some similar project, you have a responsibility - but tbh, something like that should not be unpaid. so the problem is somewhere else tbh

  • @evan Well, if that's the standard for what "should" means in the original question, then yes, exactly however much they feel like:

    Here, “should” means the extent to which actions are good for the actor mentally and physically, [...]

    That's all I expect from unpaid people who've made no commitment to me. Open Source is big on the "no warranty" part.

  • @larsmb @tony it's not my fault that you didn't think about the question very hard.

    Is your software Open Source?

  • @evan How long is a piece of string? I've worked on stuff that I could poke once a month to see if anyone had any issues.. Big projects are sometimes run like commercial entities with multiple maintainers. And all points in between.

    But they're not maintaining software in a state where it works for me.. it's not about me.. They're doing it because they want to, and I (and many others) happen to benefit from that.

  • @shtrom so, if it's not because they owe somebody something, why do volunteer maintainers do the work in the first place? And if they do have a goal, how much time do they have to put in to reach it? Are there different amounts of time for different goals?

    for me, the main problem on many (smaller) open-source projects is, that there is only ONE maintainer.
    there should be a team.

    the bigger the project, the more user it uses, the better should be the support.
    And: good support needs normally a team.
