Leap is not exactly contributor's heaven given the herritage from SUSE, and the *contribution model to these packages . It has it's audience and is currently most downloaded distro, so we its users most likely want direct replacement. Which is why is fair to ask potential contributors first.
My main grudge with the maintenance model in openSUSE is that a maintainer doesn't have control over the maintenance of their own packages. I don't know any other open source project where another maintainer can just make changes to the project you maintain without approval from the maintainer.
That's not openSUSE, that is a feature of OBS and the inheritance model of the maintainer setting. For example a maintainer in d:l:py also has maintainer powers in sub-projects thereof and if those maintainers rather trample on package maintainers feet than send SRs then you get the problem you observed. Unfortunately the situation happens far too often. But it is a separate conversation form the survey.
