Hard disagree on that. Maintaining (bug triage, pull requests review, bug fixes…) is actually the hard work and the part that deserve the reward IMO.
When I contribute to an open source software to fix a bug/add a feature, my reward is that the software I use has an annoying bug gone/the feature I want. I don’t need any reward. On the other hand, the thankless maintainer deserve it.
