People have to move on this is life but projects should persist. 
How about making a list of projects on github with milestones and 
task lists and dedicate a forum section or a pinned thread to 
contributors where you regularly update which projects are 
progressing and where you need extra workers or funding also you 
could prioritize projects using polls from the community you can 
also make a buglist project and prioritize the most wanted bugs. 
I myself am a programmer I'm not experienced in management but it 
would make the job of a passing by contributor much easier if 
things are working in harmony and it would also make the users 
happy if they see the projects they voted for are in progress.
