While it's hard to define what the "original" Bitcoin community really is, you'd struggle to make up a definition under which the above is true.
Looking through the commit log, none of the developers match any known Bitcoin developers at all, neither past nor present. It's hard to know for certain of course since there are many pseudonymous developers in this space.
A large reason might be that drumming up interest in consensus breaking changes is difficult enough as it is, and interest in a completely different codebase with incompatible rules is likely to be even harder.
