The leads believe in meritocracy, that means the project will

No, first of all you need the same amount of economic backing.
The one backing the project will shape it the most. True
democracy is pure utopia. People have different interests and
different ideas, which are often conflicting. In the end it's
all about resources.
I forgot to comment on this.
No, I don't think it is only a matter of resources. For instance,
if I had the time I would most certainly consider writing a
pack-rat parser for a modified subset a D that builds an AST for
clang.
That's actually doable for 1-3 people.
