First, thanks for sharing your work as open-source.
In response to this post, though, I have to say that I never quite understand why (in the world of open-source software) people often think that merging is somehow good or necessary. We don't think that in other areas (merge Apple and Microsoft?, merge Honda and BMW? merge Scorsese and Fincher?).
I was recently one of the static site compilation newbies you mention. I wasn't overwhelmed. I was delighted to have so many options to choose from. I looked over a bunch of the different platforms, and then I made a choice. It was easy, and again I liked having the options.
So my serious response to you as a user of open-source tech is stop worrying about the other projects. Make yours as good as you can with whatever time you choose to devote to it. There's no reason to merge.
