The worst kind of open source maintainer is the one who is “too busy to merge PRs into their project” but is also unwilling to find another maintainer to take it over.

I’m trying to decide if I should fork overmind right now; I really don’t want to, but I also need features that *were merged* almost a year ago. I’m taking the angle of trying to make releasing the upstream easier, so maybe it’ll be easier for the maintainer to support, though.
