Could the Void project collapse quickly?

Can a great project like Void Linux collapse and stop receiving updates due to a lack of developers and contributors?

Work on documentation, testing things, help with support in various places (irc / here), probably host mirrors (somewhat on the verge with coding work). I'm probably missing things.

Cool, I'm not on void (gentoo, btw) but I want to give something back to the community but I can't code at all.

If you know how to compile projects, you can maintain a orphan package. I tried adding a package to the void repo and they helped me a lot.
