By default, Org export preserves the number of blank lines during
conversion.  If no blank line separates two elements in the Org buffer,
no blank line will separate their transcoded version.

You can change this by using filters.  For example "md" back-end
enforces at least one blank line between elements (see
`org-md-separate-elements') and "e-ascii" back-end normalizes the number
of blank lines after an headline (see
`org-e-ascii-filter-headline-blank-lines').

Filters are installed by :filters-alist keyword in
`org-export-define-backend' and `org-export-define-derived-backend'.

Ideally, for "listified" headlines, list type (ordered or not) should be
determined by `org-export-numbered-headline-p' predicate.
