Treat your FOSS maintainers with some human decency.

The same could be said about politicians, too......although they are easy to ridicule. It makes it hard to get good leaders when no sane person would choose to endure all the abuse a political candidate gets.

Except most FOSS maintainers don't have glory or money. They do it for the project. While politicians rarely do it for the country. In all my life, I've never heard one I deeply respect that was elected. I see many FOSS maintainers I respect that are in charge.
