That is a function of the release process not the development process.
 Test Units and QA make for good releases, not the number of
developers with commit access.

The Linux kernel maybe a good comparison and it has a huge number of
developers.

So you could say the choice of source control system and thus list of
release gatekeeper(s) dictates the set of developers who can manage
the source easily.


And at the end of the day results speak. Personally I still use
gnucash for certain things because I prefer its simple ledger and
speed.  However in the last six months I've stopped recommending MS
Money and started suggesting KMyMoney2 for basic users.  Mainly
because they seem to be going somewhere and producing things.
