This is a fascinating idea. However, I wonder how it fits with the fact that the target type of project is still maintained by one person / project expert. Where is the redundancy for the proverbial maintainer-run-over-by-a-bus? While the three engineers necessary for maintaining a critical dependency is expensive, a company is unlikely to lose them all at once.

It would be interesting if Geomys promoted some form of cross-pollination among its associate maintainers, but it sounds like they're trying not to direct the work.
