   Reading the comments, I'm happy to note the complete absence of pricks hurling insults because somebody is no longer volunteering for their benefit.

     @balor I imagine it's a project that will stay useful for a long time even if just coasting, and it sounds like even though he was the lead, there are others in the project doing parts of what he was doing, just maybe not as intensively.
     
     I think also they have in the last 1-2 years improved automation of various things (just something I perceived between the lines when seeing what's going on with the app, I don't know the project well), so they may be less dependent on one person now than they were when he started.
     
     Sounds like some people are willing to step up their engagement, but of course it's one thing to have that sentiment and another to be able to put in those hours.

     Happily, it does not look like the departure of Boris Kraut will cause major disruption for !FDroid. https://forum.f-droid.org/t/so-long-farewell-and-goodbye/600
