I'm agreeing to most things you said.

Sure. I would be happy to have more people doing work there - but I
don't think "more people should participate" is the compelling reason
to kick out the current maintainer(s) unless this is the only option
left. And I don't think it's as bad as that. (Which doesn't translate
to "I'm totally happy with the status quo", just "it's not as bad as
that".)
