Sometimes code is finished and the best thing to do is to leave it alone.

I would disagree. With the example of Flask-Mail (https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-mail), there are 26 open PRs and 77 issues nobody is taking care of. In my experience there is always room for improvement and need for change, especially in non-trivial cases such as email sending.
