    I think there are a lot of projects that have many contributors but only one person that has admin access to the repo, website, etc. I wouldn’t necessarily say it meant there was a single person working on it.

      Let’s not pretend that these projects are exempt from the real life obstacles. People have real life out there. They get sick, have family issues, change ideologies, you name it. Sometimes the sole maintainer goes missing out of the blue.

      Yet some of these projects persevere despite challenges. Solus is a good example.
