Thanks for writing this. It takes a hard head to be an open-source project maintainer and taking a step back and evaluating how to contribute to open source software while keeping it enjoyable is a good thing to do.
I see so much abuse on Github (stuff like "your README is utter garbage" and other frustration, all over, all the time) and it's really disappointing. I don't ever expect the issue-reporting community to change so instead maintainers have to learn how to deal with it, which is unfortunate and leads to the type of burnout detailed here and in numerous other posts I've seen on HN.

Don't give in and quit! Ignore the trolls.
