Im a big fan of "you can either pay me to fix this issue, or fix it yourself" model. Nobody should be pressured to maintain a open source project once they're done with it themselves.
Exactly! In fact, that was the original free software MO. The whole maintainership shenanigans became a thing after companies started exploiting it for free labor.
