Torvalds started the Linux kernel and makes sure things keep running more or less smoothly and on target even though most of the actual coding work is really done by hundreds of other people. Torvalds himself readily admits this. I see many similarities with Jimbo/Wikipedia.
This is not unintentional on my part. Like Linus, "I'm basically a very lazy person who likes to take credit for things other people actually do." (Also, like Linus, I'm only joking there. The irony is, one reason Linus gets credit for everything is that he readily admits that other people did most of it.)
