I've the impression that most maintainers and project founders care about the project and the source. Contrary to what in industry happens often, where other things are more important {sales, features, marketing, blingbling}. One of the prevailing features of well driven open-sources project is - you're encouraged to improve the code i.e. make it better {readable, maintainable, faster, hard}. You're not encouraged to change it for the sake of change i.e impress people. I've the feeling it is the first case because it reduced the number of lines and kept source readable. Aside from that, I don't think good developers want to impress others.
