why don't they leverage ai for maintaining packages?

The main problems seem to be that it takes a long time to build all combinations of USE flags and that users complain that volunteers are not working fast enough, causing annoyance of the maintainers. Can you explain how AI would help here?

That's funny cause I use ai to maintain dozens of ebuilds. They are usually one shots.
