The sense of entitlement people have of open-source projects is ridiculous, ESPECIALLY if they haven’t contributed to it.

I couldn't agree more.

However, couldn't this project have been handed off to new owners or simply left dormant rather than be archived? I guess it can be forked, but the upgrade path for existing users would be less clear.

https://github.com/FineUploader/fine-uploader/issues/1881 was open for more than a year. There were some proposals, but I assume that all of them imposed conditions that the author considered unacceptable.

For such a large project, there is no such thing as dormant, only rotting. Archiving makes this status clear to potential users.

Judging by the github contributors page there were really only 2 major contributors (including the author), so slim pickings to find a new leader.

What is this comment in response to?

>I've grown tired of continuously defending my inactivity and decisions against trolls on Twitter, the issue tracker, and elsewhere. It's draining and I don't have the patience or energy to deal with it any longer. These same people expect to impose their short-sighted and non-generalized values and goals on a project for which they have contributed nothing and are not willing to maintain. The sense of entitlement from a small but vocal minority that do not understand FOSS and refuse to understand it is very much a concern, and I'm simply not interested in shrugging that off anymore.

Thanks! I read it a couple of times and missed it each time. It was before my coffee, so I guess I'll blame that.

It's from the announcement:
