So were is the new developer for for examples man:, ftp:, fish: (the list is 
far from being exhaustive).

Or where are additional developers for KBabel or for KWord for examples?

Assuming you want to kick out KFloppy for example, it means that the poor new 
developer who would take the work on KFloppy would not only became a 
developer and the new maintainer but would also need to be the release 
manager of KFloppy. So the probability is clearly near 0.
