True, but a determined adversary like JiaTan/Jugar has an ace up their sleeve: they are good enough, and patient enough, to be able to fork the base project, spend a year or two making it better than the original (releasing the head of steam built up from legitimate requests that the old, overworked maintainer never got too, building goodwill in the process) and then convincing the distros to pick up their fork instead of the older original. At which point it really is game over.

Given the current situation, I'm slightly worried about Fedora's planned move to zlib-ng instead of zlib in the next release (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ZlibNGTransition https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ZlibNGTransition).
