summary

Long-term project health depends on a single consistent presence that sets a floor for team energy rather than producing most output; without that steady contributor teams risk synchronized dropoffs and a stalled community that needs a big shove to restart. Observation from Fedora shows teams that last years often have a sponsored contributor (commonly Fedora/Red Hat), and even 3-4 hours a week of steady, visible participation can sustain momentum.
