XFS maintainer, Darrik Wong, steps down (opens in new tab)

  I burned out years ago trying to juggle the roles senior developer,
  reviewer, tester, triager (crappily), release manager, and (at times)
  manager liaison.  There's enough work here in this one subsystem for a
  team of 20 FT, but instead we're squeezed to half that.  I thought if I
  could hold on just a bit longer I could help to maintain the focus on
  long term development to improve the experience for users.  I was wrong.

-by struggling to do too much for too long DW believed he was setting xfs up for failure

-by stepping out of most of what he has been doing he believes xfs will fail due to lack of interest in other people picking up the slack

I really couldn't say which is more probable though. Perhaps both?
