Certainly as someone in a company's open source program, we should talk :) I am too.

Sometimes even company projects reach a level of maturity at which they can feasibly graduate to community or foundational ownership.

At Facebook, both React and HHVM have a stated interest in pursuing this outcome for example - but I'm pretty sure this does not make my role redundant any more than a teacher becomes redundant once their oldest pupils leave school each year :)
