title: Maintenance and responsibility lang: en
To distill a maintainer’s responsibilities into core facets, I have borrowed from Asimov’s Three Laws. Perhaps it feels like a dramatic summary of the rather mundane task of pushing to a public git remote. But if you feel that way, I’ve likely already lost you. That’s fine. These laws have my name on them, not yours.
- A maintainer may not harm a user or, through inaction, allow users to come to harm
- A maintainer must shepherd their project and empower the community to do the same
- A maintainer must protect their own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws
*I, Maintainer* (cache)
Something to remember before pushing the first lines of open-source code out there.
Been there, felt that.
