>I think this is the clearest, easiest, correct answer. If you no longer have the time and motivation to maintain a project, and are also not in a position to hand over control to someone you have good reason to trust, the easy, safe answer is to retire it, and have others fork.
To prescribe some preventative advice based on this: it's probably not a good idea if your project gets popular to continue being a solo developer in open source. So plan ahead based on your popularity.
And your project isn't likely to explode in popularity over-night and be a dependency for 1000+ other projects, so you should be able to see this coming.
Of course, this is super-easy to prescribe in hindsight.
