Indeed. Merging is a time-consuming process and having pressure to both 
produce some software of your own, while maintaining input and contributions 
from a dozen of people that writes things a lot faster than you have time do 
is a nightmare. Add in the responsibility of having multiple projects at 
once, some as a hobby, some for school and some for work and the situation 
quickly becomes impossible to sort out.

What I would like to know is, how are these things solved in other large 
Open-Source projects, like KDE or the kernel? Linus sure have a lot more time 
to spend on kernel-maintenance than you seem to have, but the very pressure 
and amount of patches submitted to the Linux kernel is also a LOT larger than 
Y. How is the kernel development organized so that Linus doesn't have to work 
28 hours/day reviewing patches?
