Yes, but the point is, are you volunteering to maintain it?  That's
an ongoing commitment.  If you aren't willing, then there's your
reason why not to do it.

And it's really silly to condition writing something on it being
committed to CVS.  The condition is usually in the reverse -- if
it's _good_ (and fulfills the legal requirements), then it gets
committed.  I myself have gone through several iterations of a
patch before it was considered good enough to be committed
to CVS.
