This is the most fruitful suggestion. Let the community members
maintain the community fork and commit the patches. The On-demand guys
can then pull those into their fork and release it. I know there will
be certain amount of fuss in it, but there are lots of community
projects which work in this fashion. May be a Steering Committee can
be set up, which has members from the vTiger corporate as well as the
community and they decide on accepting the patches to community fork
instead of depending only on the vTiger core developers.

Remember, as John has mentioned, there are many Open Source projects
which frequently cries for help. Vtiger is fortunate of having a very
active community and the core developers should be able to leverage it
to deliver a more stable product.
