Then you must not have looked very hard - everything in Boost is the product of an effort from the community, be it through reviews, suggestions, collaborative efforts or discussions. That doesn't necessarily imply "shared ownership", but it certainly means "shared responsibility". The ownership you're referring to with regards to maintenance is handled by, er, those who maintain the libraries. These libraries are singular entities, yet they are also a part of a collection of libraries. Those maintaining libraries are individuals, yet also part of the Boost community.
