Rather, you have ignored my response to this accusation. I'll repeat:

The obligation exists. I can't quite express it, but it is the same 
obligation, that keeps everyone working on their bits and pieces of the 
project, respond to requests for help, follow-up on PRs... One can not take 
such obligation to court (luckily), but it still exists.

I guess, this piece of "common sense" is not so common, so I'll refer you to 
Saint-Exupery: "You are responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."

Even volunteers _must_ sometimes work on the unpleasant stuff to keep their 
project relevant... Pointing this out to them explicitly is usually a bad 
form, of course, but in this case the suggestion was solicited (that you were 
joking was not at all obvious).

Anyway, how about "_should_"?
