Yea I found an awesome group of people who were willing to help me test clave. But i did all of the development on my own, and haven’t had anyone offer to help with dev work or even project management (creating and maintaining issues for example). Also there’s the marketing and education aspect which I suck at and don’t have time to do because I’m spending so much time on the dev work. So using extra dev capacity is one way to help and offload maintainers, but you’re right there are other ways.

many of the original or traditional devs here want to build their own things. vibe coders are different though. the problem with this is not all models are the same and not all prompts are the same. you'll get a lot of AI slop out there that will create more work to review than you just doing it yourself. a nice roadmap and issues for features can help as well as a complex contributing.md file.
