I understand why Troy is doing this. Security is a big and a complex endeavor and having majority of the stuff done by himself alone is taking a toll.
One option that Troy could have done is to spin up a team / small company that would continue this project - with full control and guidance under his direction. That way, the trust that he has built from everyone at the community will be carried forward as the project progresses and matures further.
This will also allow visibility and transparency knowing that the people who would be working on this project will have access to him and everyone is on board on the direction moving forward.
Lots of companies / venture capitalists would be willing to support this cause which could provide the financing the project will need to be sustained and grow further.
