When I meet a maintainer in the project that stated to me "I have to talk to my

"component" that rings alarm bells to me, That gives me the feel that they are 
maintaining their components as a
part of their job not because they want to scratch an itch and want to!
jesus christ be gladful that companies like red hat are
paying people for development of free software and if
someone get paied for a job soemtimes he has to speak
with his managers

It's not like RH gives other company's the alternative to sponsor the project now does it....

I dont know about your parts but I grew up in environment where slavery is not 
accepted
your definition of "slavery" is completly broken

If an RH employee is maintainer is maintaining a component in the distribution and doing so because it's an part of his job but not because he want's to I call that slavery especially when he has to go to his manager to ask him if he is allowed to "upgrade" the component it to it's latest release. Yes first hand I have experienced an RH employee that has said I need to speak to my manager before he could upgrade the component he was maintaining to the latest release and to me that's pretty fucking alarming....
