In any case, I'm re-upping this in the hope that some of you find it useful: Maintenance terms and contribution terms for your projects.

The maintenance terms are, essentially, "provided as is means provided as is; your emergency is not my emergency". The contribution terms amount to "We will not accept large changes we haven't talked about first."

The real goal of this is social permission for maintainers, a sign to tap when they say "on my own time", or simply "no".
