Hmm. I can think of two other big names that would fit. Funny that Sun, who no longer exists as an entity gets the brunt.
Apple. The Webkit saga was pure ugliness. The thing finally turned around somewhat, but after years, and essentially killing the original project, khtml.
Google. Tesseract and ocropus. Not google directly, but projects by googlites. I suspect that both are a result of not enough resources by the project maintainer, but both had very interesting technical challenges and had some potential of growth. But. 10 rules rule.

Or OpenDarwin (assuming there ever was a community to destroy).
LCA: How to destroy your community Posted Jan 19, 2010 20:58 UTC (Tue) by lambda (subscriber, #40735) [Link] The early days of WebKit were pretty bad, but it's now a pretty thriving community that gets most things right. OpenDarwin, however, was a fiasco, and many of Apple's other Open Source projects aren't nearly as well run as WebKit.
