If you take a _close_ look at OpenSource projects you'll realize that 
most of the successful projects are driven by a very small set of 
developers. OGo is no different in that.
Eg I would be surprised if the Linux kernel has a much higher 
developer/codeline ratio. You also need to take into account that 
groupware servers are used/required by much less people than say a 
kernel or a text processor. So if you expect that a GW attracts as much 
as a momentum as for example Apache or Linux, this is unrealistic ;-)

Anyway, if you assume that OGo is not interested in patches contributed 
by other people, this is completely wrong (and proven different in 
practice). My initial statement was focused on the development of the 
software itself, yet this is only half of the work, making a good 
_product_ involves a _lot_ more, and this is where OpenSource excels.
