Maintainer of Capistrano here, I've been close to FOSS burnout a couple of times, and more often than I would like people catch the sharp end of my tongue. I can count on one hand how many issues have been opened with a corresponding PR, and from those, barely any ever come with tests, or acknowledge the stuff in the CONTRIBUTING file (Github includes a "Before opening this issue, check this project's guidelines). Fortunately there are couple of people who consistently tackle issues that the lazy people have opened, and submit super high quality PRs with unit and functional tests, documentation and entries in the CHANGELOG. These people are the main reason that I still work on FOSS.<p>My solution was to make heavy use of labels at GH, the "needs more info" and "feature request" ones are obnoxious colours. Second to that, I bought a TextExpander licence, and setup a bunch of macros `notanissue` which expands to:<p>> Closing because I’m not sure this is an issue, if you are convinced that this is really a bug, please feel free to re-open the issue and add more information (your versions (Ruby, Cap, etc), your Capfile, your logs, and relevant sections out of your Gemfile)
> Otherwise support is done via the mailing list (<a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/capistrano" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/capistrano</a>) or at StackOverflow (<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/capistrano" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/capistrano</a>) with questions tagged `capistrano`.<p>And a number of others 'contrib' for contribution guidelines when a PR is in conflict with them, etc.<p>It's helped lighten the load a lot, and now tend to invest heavily in grooming the issue list, and keeping things neat and tidy at GH. I dare guess, when I'm awake 90% of the issues are classified, or closed within 5 minutes of being opened, this has helped a lot with the feeling of pressure and constant nagging with which I've previously suffered.<p>Of course, maintaining a large project is a burden, but it comes with career and profile benefits.
