There are many possible reasons, and yes, one is because they might hope it's useful to other people. That's not the same as being "responsible" for such usefulness.

And I agree completely. Except when you claim you're a "maintainer." If you do, that is supposed to mean something. And I think it means you're going to maintain the code. That's the only responsibility I am talking about.

Maintainer is a term of art that just means you’re the person in charge of the project.
