Let's do some math.

There is around 160 maintainer positions in Qt (a quick count of <tr> on 
the maintainers wiki page)

Many maintainers are a maintainer as part of their job duties. Not many
people these days have the same job for more than 5-6 years. If it takes
1-2 years to get to a state to become maintainer, that leaves around 4
years as a maintainer.

If we assume that the maintainer is around for 4 years and there is
effective 10 months per year, then we should have 4 replacement
maintainers each month.

I'm not sure I see something worrying in numbers alone.
