    question for free software maintainers

    how do you go on holidays?? I'm at the point where I get 20-25 GitHub emails per day (issues, PRs, discussions, replies). I'm scared to think what I will come back to if I leave for a week or two

      @YaLTeR it's just not worth it to do anything when you're supposed to take a rest.

          @YaLTeR not all emails worth it anyway. They might not addressed to you or are already resolved without your attention.

          Going through 200 of them should be a matter of few hours... usually?

            @YaLTeR also, announcing that you're going offline for days or weeks helps a lot.

              @a1ba yeah, thankfully some emails i can just skip bc it's some existing discussion

              sure it's probably "just a few hours" but like if i'm starting to put off going through 10 emails then the number 200 will be instant death

                @YaLTeR I can feel you there but it's not going to be that bad as you imagine. Don't worry and take a break if you want it.

                Is that about niri and that everybody talks about it now? Give it some time and the hype will wear off.

                    @YaLTeR btw dunno if you have this kind of personality but you now have a rare experience of witnessing the NUMBERS of the actual appreciation of your work.

                    I mean you definitely had it with modding/speedrunning HL community except it's much larger now. And it's awesome.

                      @YaLTeR it might be overwhelming but you don't have to worry about anything. Including the amount of emails you get every day.

                        @YaLTeR If you can, get a co-maintainer, or failing that, perhaps someone who can deal with the simple issues and just replying to PRs

                        Locking the repo as someone suggested also sounds like a good idea

                          @thezoq2 easier said than done i guess. Can't really think of anyone else frequenting the issue tracker

                            @YaLTeR @thezoq2 finding co-maintainer or tester especially with good vibes is an actual miracle. Chances are low, but non-zero.
