As far as I know, nobody at the Wikimedia Foundation writes a public issue tracker (Bugzilla), a semi-private issue tracker (OTRS), or a private issue tracker (RT). Nor does anyone write product management tools (Trello, Mingle). However, all of these tools need ongoing maintenance. The (self-hosted) code review tool at the center of Wikimedia's development and deployment processes probably deserves a dedicated maintainer. Whether such a person is hired by the Wikimedia Foundation or a Wikimedia Chapter, the need is definitely there. That was my point; perhaps the term "maintenance" is causing confusion?
Whether we continue using Gerrit (and Bugzilla and ...) or if we switch to the magical world of Phabricator, Wikimedia's development and deployment processes need ongoing TLC at an application level. This means more than the bare minimum of keeping the service online indefinitely; this would ideally include regularly implementing bug fixes and enhancement requests.
