Alice “psykose” who is easily responsible for the highest number of commits per author over the past year has decided to step down from maintaining her packages.

She hasn’t decided what to do next but likely “catch up on a year of sleep.” She doesn’t believe that this will ultimately impact Alpine Linux itself but hopes that others will pick-up what’s needed to keep on going with the package maintenance.

With her being responsible for about half of all commits for this system, she basically is Alpine Linux. Well, or was.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
