ESR seems to like to take over maintainership of projects. There's nothing wrong with that, but I know plenty of people who maintain lots of low-profile projects who don't make a point of listing just how many projects they're responsible for. He also has a long history of turning whatever one-off tool he built for a particular project into its own project (that nobody but him uses or develops) and citing that as well. He's done some decent work but that doesn't seem to satisfy him. He has to be a leading light and a visionary, and he doesn't seem to know or care that describing oneself as such is off-putting.
