Is it considered harmful?

In my experience, most of the best software is maintained by a very small group of people. SQLite, one guy. Linux. Clojure. Etc.

I think it's interest field of research: is there any correlation

"Contributors" is a whole 'nother issue. My guess is that Lua, like most successful open-source projects, has a bunch of them.
