This morning I found an email in my inbox telling me that I am a bad maintainer and that I am making people fork my modules. The mail was not meant to go to me, but the sender hit reply and thought he was moaning about me to someone else. Basically I was asking for my modules to be forked because I was too ### to release a new version. I don’t release a version unless I am confident it is release-worthy: when I have used it myself.
Not a big deal, but it gave me food for thought about maintainance and release of Drupal modules, in general. And about how to improve the general issue of not having enough time to dedicate to a contribution
In general, I think there are three reasons to maintain a module on Drupal.org
You think it is fun or/and like to “give something back”
It allows you to have your module improved without having to invest much time and money
It works as marketing for you, as a highly visible portfolio: people see you, see your work and therefore might hire your services.
