Instead of being a prick like the other responder I'm going to give you a half informed understanding. Basically nothing. Lots of projects that are used on a daily basis in production have no maintainers. There is a web UI showing the number of Debian packages with no active maintainer.

This is the project that maintains the user-facing documentation for Linux itself. Anyone who does system administration on Linux, who uses the command line, or who programs in C is relying on this documentation. Also, it is not the Debian package maintainer stepping down, but the project maintainer.
