You nail it /right/ on the head:

I'm just coming at this from the slightly bitter point of view that the 
project.module, for better or for worse, is the fundamental module that 
sits on top of drupal core to make drupal.org (and therefore drupal 
itself) possible. it's how we deal with the software development process 
for our entire system. i'm feeling a little embattled, like i'm the only 
one who actually cares enough when it's broken to stay up until 3:30am 
to make sure killes updates the copy on drupal.org with the fixes i made 
-------------------

This is /exactly/ the reason that another project management system has 
to exist. Any time a single and masterful use case (such as d.o) drives 
a piece of software (like Ruby on Rails for Ruby), bad things happen: 
development slows, innovation slows, and walls grow. The module caters 
more and more to the needs of the One then the needs of the Many.
