I think that part of the problem is that large areas *are* de-facto controlled by one person (or, at best, a few people). If the word "Unicode" shows up I expectantly start looking in your or MAL's direction. Likewise, if "Macintosh" appears everyone starts staring at me.
And there is nothing wrong with that. However, I would not want to formalize this any more: in principle, it should be possible for anybody to who as an OS X box to step in and validate a certain OS X patch. Given the various compile farms, really anybody could help. Of course, the regular contributors may not have the time to obtain the expert knowledge just to validate a single patch. However, I would sure hope that new contributors become experts on areas on which we already have one. Regards, Martin
