I can empathise with the author completely here. This exact thing happened to me in the last couple of years (albeit with a much smaller user base than in this case).
I maintained a set of Visual Studio Code builds for the Raspberry Pi and for Chromebooks.
Unfortunately life happens to us all, and due to similar reasons of mental health (and a few family matters that couldn’t wait) I fell well behind on responding to issues on GitHub and merging patches.
It’s hard to know you’re letting people down, especially when it was something you put out there for them that they’ve come to depend on.
In my case my project eventually became obsolete due to a combination of direct vendor support from Microsoft for ARM, and because of Linux for Chromebooks.
In the end I wasn’t upset to move on from the project, I was just relieved that I was able to stop and still point the users back to something officially supported so they wouldn’t be abandoned.
I’m glad Pedro’s doing better, but I really hope for his sake he’s returning to work on this because he wants to and not out of a sense of obligation - his health is way more important than a few feature requests. It looks like a great project, he should be rightly proud of his work here.
