It is always fun to write new stuff, and be able to show off that shiny new piece of code that just come out of your brilliance and/or restless effort. But the world does not spin based just on shiny things; for free software to continue making the world work, we also need the dusty, and maybe and little rusty, things that keep our systems together. Someone needs to make sure the rust does not take over, and that these venerable but useful pieces of code keep it together as the ecosystem around them evolves. As you know, Someone is probably the busiest person there is, so often you will have to take Someone’s job for yourself.
