Ask HN: How do you walk away from a project you care about?

I like FOSS enough to contribute to projects I care about, which recently means either small $ or Issues/PRs. Recently, I got a 'closed' PR responding to relevant issues; passed all tests, should've improved a small project, etc. Instead of any comment or reasonable response, I get "closed" and the opportunity to walk away. What a gift.

You?

Reminds me of my old "I wonder how easy it would be to measure average internal virtues with automated systems" thought trains
