Open source projects should run office hours
I have deep aversion to "Open source projects should run office hours" title.<p>Maybe "Office hours may be a good idea for open source projects"? This would not suggest obligation.<p>In general, fact that someone created or maintains or supports open source projects should not be considered to create any obligations beyond lack of malice and abuse.<p>I am not obligated to support any bugs, create any features and it is perfectly fine to delete all my repos at any time (unless I declared otherwise).<p>I am also not obligated to support anything, help with anything, there is no guarantee of uptime, office hours, resolving issues or anything else.<p>If you want obligations, guarantees or anything like that - feel free to hire a given developer.<p>Many such things are good ideas and some people may decide to promise them (if you describe something as secure then you declared to handle security issues timely). But I reject idea of being obligated to do any of above.
