#916 After many years of maintaining this chart alongside @justusbunsi, I am also stepping down as a maintainer. In the following, I want to inform users about the reasons. I am on an independent journey since ~ 1 year, which brought many new challenges and responsibilities. Since then I have created many devops-related assets (charts, Ansible role, images) which I am now curating as part of my professional work. Besides, I have also continued with all my FOSS-related efforts. This has summed up to ~ 20-30 projects for which I am either in a primary or secondary maintainer role. While I have a lot of fun in this, I need to ensure to not go beyond my limits and focus on the ones which I also use in my daily dev & professional life. Gitea isn't among these anymore since some time, which brings me to the second part of why I am stepping down: After thinking about it for a long time and being torn between worlds, I've decided to go with Forgejo instead of Gitea for most instances I am running/maintaining. Since then, I have used the Gitea helm chart to deploy these. This has worked out great and without issues and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future. However, it lately started to feel "wrong", i.e. to continue using the Gitea chart for Forgejo deployments, especially after both projects have substantially diverged some time ago already and a Forgejo Helm Chart exists since some time. Also, I had the feeling of not being able to "commit" to one of the projects fully, being involved in both. After launching [CodeFloe](https://codefloe.com) a few weeks ago, a public Forgejo instance, I came to the conclusion to step down as a maintainer and focus on the software that I use daily. And as I like be fully transparent: I don't wanna hold back on the fact that I was also missing the community spirit from "the old days" quite a bit lately, both in the Discord server and the discussions in the chart. The ratio of low-quality requests in the Chart increased a lot over the last ~ 1.5 years, while at the same time the average response times of Gitea core member increased to weeks. I hope the Gitea community can turn this around again and create a welcoming place to which its fun to contribute to in one's spare time. I enjoyed it for the most part and want to thank everyone who supported me during this time, for the general trust in Chart-related decisions, and the opportunity to personally improve on Helm chart management in general.

This is a direct follow-up to #916. Over the past months I took an unofficial break. During this time I realized that I don't have the necessary energy and spare time to maintain the Helm Chart long-term - in a way I would like to. Before that break I had ups where I was hyper-focused on the chart, and downs where everything was too much after work. I never found a sweat spot between both. This is not good for me. It is therefore with a heavy heart that I am stepping down as a maintainer.
