It's a common thing that a person imagines that he's responsible for something, can't keep up with it and finally feels himself failed, despite the fact that he wasn't really responsible in the first place. But it's still a source of misery and disappointment. I guess, it takes some time to understand what's the real responsibilities are and what's the imaginary responsibilities are. I agree that putting some code public with open source license does not bind author to any kind of responsibility and any continued work from him is just a charity to the world which he can stop providing at any time. If someone needs more guarantees, he can pay author or any other person (if code is open source) to provide those guarantees.
