I would find it easier to believe this argument is specious if
there were at least one positive example.
I hear a number of excuses why all current examples are bad;
but the point is, all I have is an unproven theory (with lots of
excuses why the efforts to put it in practice have failed).
I am not arguing that we outlaw multi-maintainer packages. I
am saying that sharing responsibility does dilute it, and a
package-by-committee requires far more communication.
Has any one read the Mythical man month and what it says about
design/implementaion by committee?
