> One thing we did get right: maintainer buy-in. The repo had more than just the creator maintaining it, so we had real conversations and planning sessions with maintainers before making changes. We were transparent, kept them in the loop, and appreciated the support.

"Maintainer buy-in" sounds kind of misleading, unless they actually paid the other maintainers too, and I do not get the impression from that point that they did.

Eh, that is a stretch. Getting "buy-in from X" is pretty commonly understood to mean that you need to get the support from someone.
