The Bus Factor

Imagine a developer working alone on an important piece of your software. If this guy is hit by a bus, you're toasted.

More credible, people can go away, get married, have children...etc.
A good idea could be to make at least two people working on the same part. Means have the most important "bus factor" is essential.

What is the bus factor with OpenOffice.org source code ?
( is it even possible to define it ? )
