Failures in OSS Ownership
Today while I was looking at a list of open pull requests I still had open on Github, I was surprised to see a pull request that had been opened 2 years ago that I did not recall authoring, so I clicked on the PR. Turns out, I did in fact write the pull request, and it went 2 years without so much as a comment, let alone a review from the project maintainers.

GitHub Stale Bots – A False Economy
> Thesis: Stalebot -- in dutiful service of current human resource constraints -- feels like it unthinkingly prioritizes discard of past contributors' time resources, over the mobilization of new human resources.
https://github.com/probot/stale/pull/107#issuecomment-379021...
I've had a beef with Stale since early on. It's a very old-world view of solving the problem of open source capacity. A better tool would instead try to find and encourage new resources (new contributors), whereas stalebot drives them away, and so kinda cuts the project off at the knees
It save cognitive and emotional resources of current contributors (in the short-term view), but driving future contributors away (in the long-term).
