Definitely have open source burnout. I've been too busy with real life to deal with most stuff but then get angry message from entitled people who can't follow basic instructions or do basic troubleshooting. I just don't enjoy it and I'm not sure time off fixes this.
OMG, I did OSS tonight! It has been a while and I miss it. Also, I was exhausted and could not do anything other that "work work" for a while.
If I did not respond to your issues, IT WAS FREE WORK IN THE FIRST PLACE, go away!
the #mochajs core team does not monitor MY DM’S nor MY PERSONAL EMAIL INBOX for support requests

I've used libraries written in TS and I modified the build file directly to fit my project needs. Having to figure out the TS code that produced the JS code I modified was a big enough barrier that I didn't get to contribute back the improvements 😕
"I don't have time to write tests".
Do you have time to:
1. Run the app manually after each change
2. Investigate and fix broken builds
3. Investigate and fix QA errors
4. Investigate and fix production errors
Add all that up. Writing automated tests *saves* time.
a "little" µcompress and µcdn update:
* if your JS files contain `import ... from "module"` these are resolved automatically
* the ugly `.mjs` extension now works too
* you can forget bundlers, if you code vanilla JS, and use those only to target IE
