So far maintainers had to submit to and maintain packages in Factory
Basically yes, but my understanding is that they should also maintain them in the releases if security issues or bugfixes warrant a maintenance update. (In other words: If you submit something to factory, you should also provide maintenance updates for supported openSUSE releases whenever needed.)
Correct, but at release creation the package from factory ended up in the release. According to the current proposal this turns into an extra step. And we can all argue about whether or not this maintenance actually happened. One of the arguments for the SLE source based release is that the maintenance will actually happen while according to some it does not happen today.
Contributors who mainly use and deploy releases and are not be served very well by the outcome of the proposed model may well stop contributing to Factory too.
That could in theory happen.
In practise, you don't want to update your package only every 3 years IMHO [1], so I don't expect there will be many people who submit something only to the SLE-based releases, but not to factory.
It's the other way around. People will still submit to Factory, but may not submit to the openSUSE:42 project as this is no longer automagic when a new release is in the works. As it is proposed at present when someone sends a new package to factory the same package also has to be sent to :42 in order to be in the "regular" release. If I understand the original concern correctly, not getting stuff one contributes automatically into a "regular stable" release may deter people from contributing in the first place.
