Most open source projects are understaffed, especially given their relevance within the whole software ecosystem.
For projects such as k8s it's of course even worse because their target audience is basically Google/Amazon etc (if you are a normal company it's probably a massive overhead for you) who outsource that relevant work hoping the community likes to work for free while learning the skills Google/Amazon/etc need.
Software complexity is a scam by big tech.
