Funny you chose the Linux kernel, because AFAIK it's a very similar 
situation to the DMD frontend -- only one guy (Linus) actually directs what 
code gets in or not.  Yes, it's more "open" in the sense that there are more 
people working on it, but there's still a one-person bottleneck.

By "truly" open-source, I mean virtually anyone can work on it and 
contribute code, and that code is no less "official" than any other.  An 
example would be Tango.  Just about anyone can be a Tango dev as long as 
they ask (and aren't obviously a prat).
