Thanks for the post!

I'm obviously not the target audience, but I really like the idea of treating maintaining a FOSS project as a job. Fix how much time you'll spend on it, set expectations, etc, and remember that you can quit and rejoin at any time (just notify the rest of the team that you need a break).

I appreciate all the hard work Rust maintainers put in, and I wish I was in a position to help out (I'd just get in the way). Please take the time off you need, the Rust project is in a good spot right now and new things can wait.
