Companies need product owners, project managers, testers, support staff, technical authors and many other non-coding roles (roles not mapped 1-1 with people: a coder can where these hats too). So I suggest open source projects need this too and the OP's role is quite valuable. It can be useful also to have someone say ELI5 to make sure the coders can justify those funky changes!
