You're obviously doing well as a maintainer. Only stupid people try to do everything themselves. Personally, I spend a _lot_ of time communicating, because even if it's a lot more work to explain (in detail) what I want done, and it doesn't work out all the time, and I sometimes have to do it myself _anyway_, if it works even just occasionally, it not only gets people involved, it makes them do it themselves next time around without prodding, and then you just sit back, sip a foofy tropical drink, and take the credit.
