FreeBSD development (at least kernel) is being done much as a lean and mean commercial development. There are developers that take on assignments (those that they are comfortable with), and the group is fairly small. People who make substantial commitment and contribution almost automatically become part of the group (if they want to.) There is some organization to the FreeBSD development (and from what I have seen NetBSD too) which makes me feel like the teams are made up of committed software professionals.
