Webpack doesn't seem to have a shortage of contributions. What is your real concern?

1) A fragmentation of targets for complementary products. Any tool that must integrate with bundlers now has one more target.

2) A fragmentation of development efforts across competing projects. Webpack has many contributors, but they'd have 1 more if the author of Parcel built parallelism into Webpack instead of a new bundler.
