I've seen a lot of open source people get hired by Google and disappear from the open source community entirely.

Google probably has a lot more interesting problems than the rest of the world, so it's possible the 20% gets dedicated to improving Google internally.

I've seen open source people disappear for all kinds of reasons. It is a natural ebb and flow. People tend to fall off when they are busy and they tend to come back when they've got an itch.
