Whether a project needs those things is up to its author(s) to decide. If you don't agree with them you're welcome to fork.

If you want a real project then you need those

If you just want to share code, that's fine as well, but that's not an OSS project (sure, it can be an open source "project" - but not a project that grows)

What is 'a real project'? What is the (or at least your) definition of that term?

Why is sharing code (as long as an OSS license is attached) not open source?

Under what circumstances am I allowed to call things I do open source, under what circumstances not?

maintenance for a mature project is pretty low if you just don't deal with the masses constantly bombarding you with feature requests/unrelated fixes.

outside of a few specific areas; like compilers but that's mainly because hardware is constantly evolving.
