I upvoted because I'm involved in a growing OSS project that's tangling with similar questions of scope and governance. Simultaneously being responsible for everything from software deployment and PR reviews to project scoping and interpersonal conflict de-escalation is absolutely exhausting. I'm fantasizing/extrapolating that many of the people writing "so sorry to see you go" messages were the ones being quarrelsome and refusing compromise, and now they're getting the defect-defect outcome.

Not the case. Anyway, it's not about being quarrelsome, it's about having a different point of view. As for compromise, it's hard to compromise between strictness vs. laxness, for example.

Child A: I want the whole pie!

Child B: How about we split it 50/50?

Adult C: You two need to compromise. A gets 75%, B gets 25%.

(I am not implying that any particular persons are A, B, and C here.)
