Take, for example, phpPgAdmin.  It was originally forked from phpMyAdmin, but we've just done a complete rewrite (because phpMyAdmin was written my mysql/php weenies who couldn't code nicely to save their lives...).

However, it's me doing 99% of the coding, Rob doing advocacy and a heap of people who send in translations.  Translations are very nice, but I so rarely get actual code contributions.

phpMyAdmin even implements it's OWN comment and foreign key feature!!
