Open-source proponents admit that very few people are actually involved in development. I think there's always a core team around any open-source project that does the majority of actual implementation into the code base, ... On the Apache server the core team duties are distributed among 20 or so people, but only six to eight are active at any point in time. Most other projects are somewhere in between and I actually don't think a single project could do well with a huge number of 'core team' members.
