(Who's talking about Mandriva?)
About man power, if a distro doesn't have enough man power to maintain
so many tool, do you think it'll have enough man power to port them to
another language so that others can contribute / "lower the entry
barrier"? or even integrate other tools in the distro?

Sure. (Do you proposed to participate in that evaluation?).
