If it is about a language of population which has 1000 persons on Internet (because there there are just 1000 speakers of that language in a highly developed area or because they belong to 0.01% of population which has internet access in highly undeveloped area), it would be really unfair not to give a project to one or two highly devoted persons. But, it is usually about Wikipedia.
Yes, we should highlight the fact that our projects are quite different. The requisites for "sustainable activity" should reflect that. A Wikipedia shouldn't be written by a single individual cause then there would be nobody who could act as a corrective if the single individual starts to drift away from the basic Wikipedia policies or from NPOV. But I see no problem in a single individual working on a Wikisource. Wikisource material is fixed and timeless. It's not meant to change. Even if the single individual abandons Wikisource completely the content is still there and keeps its usefulness. That's very different from e.g. Wikinews where a few days without activity will render the project almost meaningless. So the requisites for "sustainable activity" should be quite low for Wikisource, but much higher for Wikinews, Wikipedia being somewhere between.
