Who cares? It's open source, you have the literal source code, fork it and move on.

Don't want to expend the effort to do so? Interesting.

Perhaps people need to be more realistic about the code they consume. Treat it as a finished product, take on dependencies you can either afford to maintain or don't need to be maintained at all. Have an exit plan. Relying on someone's unpaid labor to keep your own projects afloat is your problem.
