That's the rub isn't it? Maintaining a LTS distro is a lot of work, to keep up with just security patches, let alone normal bug patches. It's no good having a whole bunch of users, you really need enough developers with enough time to work on it. Since there is no rich sponsor, it's all volunteer work.
However the OBS could be seen as a step towards making volunteer support easier. I can see that some packages like squirrelmail have been spun off to there.
