Hello,

While talking to one of the package maintainers, this feedback came up.

I know the right solution should be to grow a community that uses them, and eventually helps with the maintain... But I fear that the skills necessary to mantain the packages are too high and the overall system too complicated to attract many new packagers. I asked many time for help and always gratefully accepted every request for co-mantaining. I also tried to teach to various people in my lab and in others how to do that and they invariably got scared and back off.

Just wanted to share here, as many here may have faced similar issues

while grooming new contributors.

It'll help if you could share anyways you've found to keep new contributors from being scared.

Thank you.
