No one is forcing you to maintain it … but successful projects have community and people who rely on the project who somehow trust the dev.

Once you say „I am not fixing it” there will be lots of people who will stop participating in community and project might die.

To add: But you mustn’t forget it. You become responsible forever for what you’ve tamed.
