Heh, I have an issue filed in a repository of his too, but I had a suitable workaround.
As a maintainer of a major library myself, I completely concur with the article - while I don't have a baby, I am a long distance runner, as well as someone who directs albums of music. I also like to socialize as well, and every now and then I give talks (oftentimes traveling to give them), interview (even having excessive time lost to take home projects), and experiment with new technology or contribute to other open source projects.
I think one thing people need to do is help us help you. It saves us a lot of mental energy, as well as speeds things up. If you can, filing a pull request would be great too if you understand the parameters of the problem
