Other ideas worth exploring (I'm not sure what kind of project you talk
about):
* ensure that parts of the project worth separate use are packaged
separately, so that people can feel compelled to use, and improve/maintain,
them. Again, you need to publisize them
* See if your project have "reinvented wheels", i.e. parts that can be
easily replaced with off the shelf components and that are adding no value
(say a template engine with no special value, present because of historical
reasons). If this is the case, maintenance can be simplified by
substituting them with well-maintained components
