This is most easiest part that is made possible by a DSCM like git: "Karl
Foo of KBar fame didn't answer my request to include my improvements since
$N weeks now. So I've opened a repository for KBar at $Location with my
improvements." If the crowd follows, nobody cares where Karl Foo is.

The important part here is: *if the crowd follows*. That's what I mean
with earning trust points (and losing just as well) and it is the process
that makes maintainers; basically, a vote by popularity.
