Hopefully that would solve that issue, but there's also the matter of someone being senior enough to be able to understand the direction of a project, set it, etc. Basically, you need to be able to trust every single one of the maintainers to have commit access on your project, with everything that entails.
For completely abandoned projects, it may not matter as much, but for projects that just need more eyes/hands, it's a larger consideration.

Maybe add an agreement that if the community calls for a changing of the guard at some point that pending a review the maintainer will step down if the review process agrees.
