[$] Reducing kernel-maintainer burnout

Post Syndicated from corbet original https://lwn.net/Articles/952034/

Overstressed maintainers are a constant topic of conversation throughout
the open-source community. Kernel maintainers have been complaining more
loudly than usual recently about overwork and stress. The problems that
maintainers are facing are clear; what to do about them is rather less so.
A session at the 2023 Maintainers Summit took up the topic yet again with
the hope of finding some solutions; there may be answers, perhaps even
within the kernel community, but a general solution still seems distant.
