This is so important and yet most people don't realize it. A tremendous amount of effort goes into maintaining an open-source project. No software is "bug-free" for instance; and you have to continuously seave user feedback for bugs and fix them quickly.

This is a worrying trend. Most of the projects on github have become 'orphans'. I see no docs and worse - no activity for years even on some pretty interesting ones. Contrast that to Apache projects and their communities.

@patricksroberts I think @nirvana meant this in a more general sense.
