I mean, we're not really talking about ordinary leak-elimination or portability-fixing or security-hole-plugging maintenance; it's the let's-extend-the-api-in-incompatible- ways and fork-because-we-can stuff that I'm worried about.

Have any instances of that actually happened? That would be a problem with any code in the Python library, not just external contributions, so I'm not sure why external contribions should be treated any differently here.
