Its pretty obvious that the folks at Linux aren't going to just say fuck the WiFi stack because the current sole maintainer is stepping down.
Also, it being a sole maintainer doesn't mean no one else would could do it.. Its probably a job that this person was able to handle solo and now that the position has become vacant, another will step in.
If this was some small niche I can understand the concern about the potential of having it go unfilled but WiFi / wireless is crucial.
Likely sole maintainer, not sole contributor
