Alice “psykose” who is easily responsible for the highest number of commits per author over the past year has decided to step down from maintaining her packages.
She hasn’t decided what to do next but likely “catch up on a year of sleep.” She doesn’t believe that this will ultimately impact Alpine Linux itself but hopes that others will pick-up what’s needed to keep on going with the package maintenance.

Yeah, that workload is excessive. I’m glad she decided to take care of herself. “All or nothing” burns you out real quick.
I get where she’s coming from because burnout can be a real thing. I hope Alice gets rest and respite.
With her being responsible for about half of all commits for this system, she basically is Alpine Linux. Well, or was.
