When I meet a maintainer in the project that stated to me "I

rings alarm bells to me, That gives me the feel that they are
maintaining their components as a part of their job not because they
want to scratch an itch and want to!
There is a third reason for maintaining a component: it is a dependency
for another component the packager maintains. This is applicable for
_all_ packagers, be they from Red Hat or the community. You either
conveniently omitted this reason to make an argument or never thought of
it, in which case I respectfully ask you to butt out of this thread
because you do not know what you are talking about.
