The more closely aligned the extension is to the interests of the ones helping to maintain the extension, the more attention it will be given.

For WMF help, extension maintenance for Wikia, etc, may be limited to just advisory assistance with updates to keep them compatible with current versions of MediaWiki. For independent volunteers, they can do much more than that while receiving the same kind of advisory assistance from WMF.

Cite, Math, and anything else likely to have broad public benefit can have unlimited attention from WMF, as needed.

Hopefully it is clear to you that there's nothing about this that instantly leads to certain doom. Resources can be allocated according to the greatest benefit, but no one should be left out completely.
