As a software and game developer, that is not how things work. Matchmaking is an integral part of online games and one no producer in their right mind would leave unattended for extended periods of time. Even if the former developer has left, resources can, should and will be (re-)allocated to that feature. If technical documentation exists, it is very likely that another developer (or several) can pick up the mantle quickly. If not, it will just take a little more time and effort but will be done either way. That's what developers are paid for.

In short: Don't worry. Studios have to deal with this stuff all the time and there's very likely procedures in place.
