"Who is your successor?" When one of your code repositories hits one thousand stars on GitHub, ensuring project continuity becomes a top priority for the open-source community. Consequently, you’re encouraged to designate someone to manage the repository in case you’re unable to do so.
Many open-source projects heavily rely on a single contributor, even though they welcome contributions from others. Before the digital era, numerous orphan books weren’t printed again. As the proverb goes, "when an Elder dies, a library burns to the ground."
When making an impact, considering the "bus factor" and ensuring project sustainability are essential, regardless of the organization.
