Just to explicitly clarify on the George Carlin skit.
Thou shalt always be honest and faithful, especially to the provider of thy nookie.
As a maintainer, your users are thy nookie. As a user, your maintainers are thy nookie.
Thou shalt try real hard not to kill anyone.
Should be rather obvious, don't kill your users, don't kill your maintainers.
Forking a project is a way to kill. Try first to extend it.
Thou shalt keep thy religion to thy self.
This is mostly for the users. (e.g. if the maintainer uses spaces, you use spaces.)
But also for a maintainer. If a user wants to add support for FreeDOS or Haiku, invite them to maintain it.
