http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/multimedia/k3b/ shows that there
were 3 people plus scripty commiting code to K3B in the last month.
One of them did a _huge_ amount of work. The other 2 did some very
minor commits.
I didn't comment on the other examples you gave since I don't know
them well enough. But given how wrong you are about K3B I am inclined
to expect the same there.

They were not dissatisfied in the sense to do a fork. Which is why
your comparison is bad.
And thank you, I know them personally ;-) Yes they were/are coders.
