      Use a piece of open source software, find a flaw, report it/fix it/help fixing it.

    Yes. I had a project that now sits at ~600 stars. I've even seen it on /g a few times. I have abandoned it a few years ago due to the pressure and the amount of retards that go "hurr durr I want feature X why is it not implemented yet".

    Also I'm hoping people will forget it ever existed or maybe they'll think that I died of COVID or some shit.

      why not just hand it to somebody who can be bothered to maintain it? Bit of a let-down there sir.

        Thought about that. I'm unable to verify whether the person has good intentions or not. The abandoned project is still present in many Linux repositories and people keep installing it from github directly. If a malicious actor gains control over the project, they can inject whatever crap they want into it. Distro maintainers might overlook it and shit will hit the fan.

        I'd prefer someone to fork it and create a successor project. No luck so far. But yes, overall it's a let-down but I don't care much anymore.

        >I'd prefer someone to fork it and create a successor project

        This is the way it should be. There is zero difference between doing someone doing this and handing it down to someone apart from the successor not automatically having thousands of users. If whoever is creating the successor is competent and dedicated enough, they soon will have the users. If not they aren't deserving of it.

    No, it's always too much effort to ramp up on the project.
