If people come to rely on your project, you are not more responsible.
I've been in the business since before open source was much of anything but a dream, and frankly, I wish a lot of more people would shutter their projects when/if they face these kinds of unreasonable expectations.
The vitriol and entitlement towards maintainers is sickening at times, and unless those affected close the doors, I'm afraid it'll continue to be ignored, and maintainers will continue to burn out.
Burn out is a real problem in the industry, and we really shouldn't help burn people out when it comes to work they do for free!
