Being a PTL is a rewarding but difficult job, as Morgan recently put it in his non-candidacy email [1]. But it goes further than that for me. As Flavio put it in his post about "Being a PTL" [2], it's a full time job. In the case of Neutron, it's more than a full time job, it's literally an always on job.

Kyle, I'm afraid I won't be original, but I'd like to add my words to
the stream of thanks to you.  Although I've only been in the Neutron
community for a short time so far, I have felt very welcomed, and I
think that's largely due to the positive and open-minded feeling that
you have embodied.
