It's not about going million miles an hour. The safe speed can be used even if there's 200 people. But the commenter above has a good point: tons of businesses and billions are linked to a product with almost no workforce behind it. The same is with many other OSS: tons of value and no money to those who maintain/create.

If we want to solve this problem we need to start with a way to assign credit and identify neglected parts of the stack. After we have awareness we can find the funds.

Not necessarily. One can be done without another,but it would obviously help if there's some roadmap that can then be shown to the potential sponsors. Getting funding is ultimately a sales function and I'm sure any meaningful project would have enough dough to run on if such function would exist.
