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.
Actually, I think it's quite common. Fedora, openSUSE, Mageia, OpenMandriva, Alpine, NixOS, etc. all have this with package maintenance. Debian is the odd duck out here in Linux distributions, where there's no good way to pull that off. That probably explains a lot of why Debian is the way it is, coordinated work is almost impossible to pull off without some kind of central agent driving change. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
