In the absence of contradictory evidence, I hypothesize that it would work
for all modules, and therefore should be encouraged. I don't want to believe
that there is any GNOME module which is so badly coded or documented that
only 1 single person is ever capable of understanding it enough. That would
quickly be a completely unmaintainable module.
And if anybody is currently maintaining an unmaintainable module then I
think that 2 people are just as capable of maintaining it as 1.
