Hidden in here I see a very strong argument to leave 'dormant' committers around - what I personally do on some project is basically this: watch for commits into some specific crufty bits of code I know I am familliar with (propably because I wrote them eons ago) - and pitch in when people fiddle with it - when and if needed. But stay out of the way when people commit to sections totally out of my league. Which is 99% of the time. Dw.
