Keeping the energy to work on open source projects all the time
is hard.  You should be proud of the how much was accomplished,
and the effort that you and everyone who has contributed put into
it.  It's definitely best that if the project stops being fun that
you probably should let it go to someone else.

Good luck.  And have fun.
