Yes I was being slightly alarmist for a point.
It's not about how long the project has been around. It's that simply keeping up with security updates, keeping in step with latest language and build systems, etc show that most people stop looking at their own projects after its "good enough." This is fine in many cases.
But what this also means is that people stop looking at their bug reporting and feature requests. They stop putting in the effort. Most are probably burnt out which is natural. Others only like flashy new things. But if the complaint in this thread is that we need more people active, we need to start figuring out how to deal with burnout. How do we get less one person projects?
