1/ In case anybody is confused about what I'm willing to do for free as an open source maintainer, here's something I just replied with on a "choosing beggar" type request on DeOldify: "In short, I'm not here to support everybody's needs/wants."

Unfortunately I recently had to (implicitly) tell someone the same thing, by just not responding to them. Maybe I'll be more explicit. It breaks my heart, though. I want to help everyone. I've just barely been getting sleep, since there's so much to do.

Yeah not sure what the best approach is yet. I'm taking the Linus Torvalds explicit asshole approach to get the points across. I feel like otherwise the message isn't clear. Don't feel bad about it! You can't do it all and that's really the point.

I'll keep it in mind, but it seems like there's no reason not to be nice. But you have an order of magnitude more followers, so you probably deal with a lot more noise.
