I have been amazed recently at the diversity of contributors on the fpdf2 project, coming from all around the world!

My highlights / quotes:
This creates an obvious congestion. Most people try to address it in the wrong way: using pragmatism. Let’s close the issue after two weeks of no original poster replies, after we ask some question. Close all the issues that are not very well specified. And other “inbox zero” solutions. The reality is that to process community feedbacks very well you have to take the time needed
So what happens? That you start to prioritize more and more what to look at and what not. And you feel you are a piece of shit at ignoring so many things and people, and also the contributor believes you don’t care about what others have to give you. It’s a complex situation.Sometimes I just stop looking at issues and PRs for weeks, because I’m coding or designing: that is the work I really love and enjoy. However this in turn creates ways more pressure on me, psychologically. To do what I love and I can do well I’ve to feel like shit.
the sum of the productivity of me working just when I want is greater than the productivity I’ve when I’m forced to work every day in a steady way.

At work, we needed to retrieve the full list of jobs a given Jenkins instance was hosting.
Our first solution was to use the jenkinsapi Python package:

jenkins = Jenkins(server_url, lazy=True, timeout=30,
