it seems that there are only two additional significant contributors (an anonymous "stefan1111" and Alan Coopersmith, an X.org member who maintains the Solaris port), and a larger number of people who contributed a couple of commits here and there - and Enrico Weigelt (metux)'s commits are about three times as many as everyone else's combined. So, it is still very much his project, although not exclusively.
As for your links: You point to some exchanges which indicate problematic opinions, and an exchange which indicates, or at least, in which the project founder is accused of being somewhat reckless in making changes. The first kind of are legitimate to point out, and would make me wary of befriending him, but not directly relevant to his technical capabilities. The second kind is more worrying. Do you have a link to someone analyzing/considering the changes made to Xlibre relative to Xorg?
Be that as it may - while this does not sway me into belief in Wayland, it does introduce a grain of salt into my view of the X side of things, and thank you for that.

I was about to reply that it is now a project with many contributions, but looking here:
