Free software doesn't have owners, that is kinda the point.
It really does though. Someone controls the project and decides what's in or out. Other people engineer around that project, and the current latest version of that project becomes a de facto standard.
So you can either use that and let the people who control the project be in charge, or you can find enough developer time to maintain 99% compatibility as the de facto standard project changes stuff and the ecosystem you need to use follows.
