Thank you so much OP for writing this, and I hope it resonates not just with maintainers (or potential maintainers) but to users of FOSS too. You needed to write this - specifically, the "Baseline" section, which I agree with vigorously - because too many users of FOSS consider themselves entitled to continued maintenance, support, feature development, community fostering, etc. etc.
We (maintainers) owe you NONE OF THAT. We gave you our code. That. Is. Enough.
