It is very interesting that you picked as your example Stefano and Cocoon. Stefano did disappear for approximately a year, and you know what happened? The development of Cocoon continued. Some of the founding members of Jakarta have become dormant or moved on. Others have taken their place. Apache is a true meritocracy. If you champion a cause through not only your words but also your contributions, they will be accepted. Do it for a sustained period of time, and others will follow your leadership. There were a number of projects here that were not meeting my needs, and in some cases I assumed leadership of those projects for a release or two. Ultimately, they got to the point where they were meeting my needs, and others with different requirements took up the leadership role. This is why we insist so strongly on only accepting new projects that we feel have a strong potential for establishing a diverse and sustainable development community.
