This is a volunteer-based project, so we have no way of "distributing
the maintenance effort", unless people volunteer to do it.  In
particular, for absolute majority of the Emacs code, the people who
wrote the code are no longer on board.  That's the reality.

If you mean that the authors who are still here should be asked to
take care of their code, then this is already being done, always, and
cannot be done to any higher degree.
