I think this is interesting. Burn-out is real - I remember when Ben stepped away from boltdb. I guess he's learned his lessons and isn't as interested in contributions being part of his vision for his SQLite sync tool. I'd be interested to see if this gets normalised beyond the SQLite community. One of the things I did recently and haven't regretted is turning off email notifications on GitHub.

I think it's a perfectly fair option. I have projects which I have considered open-sourcing, but haven't because I don't want to deal with the public maintenance and community management aspects. I think there is sometimes too much pressure around what is the "right way" to do open source, that a project has to tick certain boxes to be a valid open-source project, and I think it's perfectly fine for an individual to want to tinker away at a pet project on their own, and share the results with others.
