I don't think this is it. I think it's more about (1) marketing and discoverability and (2) ease for current maintainers.

Getting new contributors is overrated for OSS unless they are an exceptional contributor (like if a big org were to contribute).

Main incentive is getting more consumers of the project (increase popularity) and making it more convenient for current team.

I agree but think it's a bit of both and depends on the project. I e.g. don't think SDL needs more exposure. Everyone in game dev knows SDL.. many game engines / frameworks are built on top of it.
