Wow. This is quite the blog post. Very relatable and I will need to read this a few more times for sure. I've been struggling with some of the issues raised here myself.https://twitter.com/burntsushi5/status/1219047485848588288 …
I've certainly given maintenance over some of my projects to others before, so the idea is not foreign to me. It has had mixed results. So it's definitely not something I see as a win-win.

While I think explicit community management is important, it's neither something I'm good at nor is it something I enjoy. So I think it would ultimately have the opposite effect for me: I'd spend more time in FOSS doing what I don't like instead of doing what I like.

That’s good to hear, thanks for the thoughtful response, makes sense too. A solid and useful tool/project will grow and support itself on its own merit alone instead of succumbing to something it’s not, requiring never ending maintenance a bad community has wrought
