He does owe the community of users something. He didn't write docs, set up a website, set up a mailing list, etc. because he just thought it was a fun hack he was tossing out there, he was building a community of users. All he owed was a "Hey, anyone interested?" blog post before dropping it. I didn't know he was still going to answer questions on the mailing list -- that in and of itself is probably enough.
I'm not a heartless bastard or a useless eater, I just think it's not cool to ditch people you encouraged to rely on you. It's not at all unreasonable if he's burning out, but that doesn't make it classy.
