He hasn't reported any problems upstream, nor has he made the effort to
comment on any of his updates regarding said issues. Many people have
given feedback on his updates, and he receives an email for each one.
If he is unhappy with the burden of being a maintainer, we need to
figure out why so we can address it properly, and possibly find a
co-maintainer willing to utilize our existing tools while we resolve the
problem.
