A project that I took over did this (before I took over), it's something the previous maintained did out of desperation as he didn't really want to maintain it any more, but also had trouble finding a new maintainer.
I have since revoked most people's access because:
- Most people were inactive and never contributed anything beyond the initial PR in terms of code or triaging issues.
- One person made a horrible PR that ended up having to be reverted (happened before I become active).
- One person, a Red Hat employee with no involvement for over a year, pretty much told someone to fuck off after asking a question on the issue tracker and closed the issue. The question was fine and this is very much NOT how I want to run projects (I have since removed his access).
In short, I'm not a fan, especially due that last issue: people being inactive is fine, a bad PR could be caught before release, but someone making "official" rude comments and closing issues: can't really do much about that
