I have *personally* been in meetings that had architectural decisions influenced by "how do we touch that subsystem the least, so that we don't have to deal with its maintainer". Does that sound like a particularly healthy and enjoyable community?

Me too. It's a thing. Often it's just the maintainer being AWOL rather than anything worse - not that that entirely helps the contributor, and the worse does happen as well.
