Eh? No, it doesn't. It says quite the opposite:
1. Nothing in this constitution imposes an obligation on anyone to do
work for the Project. A person who does not want to do a task
which has been delegated or assigned to them does not need to do
it. However, they must not actively work against these rules and
decisions properly made under them.
Anyone surely includes people who are maintainers, considering almost
everyone who's covered by the Debian constitution is a maintainer.
