Just a short look at

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/

and

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/log/


shows that Lennart is not the only one committing stuff to systemd.

Kay Sievers AFAIK does udev stuff. Tollef Fog Heen contributes to the 
systemd debian package.

And there are quite some others.

Granted, it seems that Lennart does most of the commits, so thats still a 
different situation than with the Linux kernel, but still it does not seem 
to be a one man show. Especially when going a bit back August this year in 
the log.

That written just from a quick glimpse. There are visualizition and 
statistic tools available to further verify or falsify my current thesis 
that systemd has quite some contributors.
