leaving a repo unattended because you have shit to do isn't a 'dumb way' for it to die. that's life.

I didn't sign up as maintainer for life just by simply throwing something on git -- i'm not using git as a resume builder, I use it as a code repository.

The problem is that people (and the whole fucked up industry and convention-system itself) seem to conflate github with linkedin.
