Thibault is not in charge of lichess (the organization). He is in charge of developing lichess.org, the website, which is owned by lichess, the organization.
> Who will be in charge of hosting tournaments, providing prize funds, [...] keeping all the Lichess patron money, etc? How can the community survive without the owner?
These things are done by lichess, the organisation. Thibault is not the owner of lichess the organisation (nor even the current president). Lichess is a French charity.
> updating new things,
That is indeed what Thibault does. If he should die (which we hope will not happen for a long, long time), lichess the organisation would probably look for a new main developer.
