I'll be whatever person I like thanks.

And most open source software starts as a one person job. And as you approach something that other people see the value in, you'll likely attract people who will help.

For the most extreme example, see the Linux Kernel itself.

Someone has to start the ball rolling, and if it's something you want, it may as well be you.
