This is good news.

I have seen several projects where the whole projects seems to be dependent of one single person. However when this person was gone, the opposite was true. He was more a obstacle than a driving force.

Stating the obvious: I have seen many projects where the whole project was indeed driven by a single person, and the project languished after this person was gone.

Your statement is probably true mostly for high profile projects such as glibc.
