I don't think it is harmful in the case of Lua language, as the
implementation is small enough for one person to manage, and Roberto
has a strong vision of what Lua is, so that there is a coherence in
the implementation. It is also a beautiful implementation.
On the other hand, I think this model is harmful for the 'batteries'
part - which could easily be improved by allowing external
contributors.
