Human nature; no way around that - everyone likes a bit of self-promotion.
The trick I think is to allow them to do their bit, but also make it easy to
participate in a far bigger scheme (see Dave Dunfield's global software
repository thread). That way everyone can do their bit, little or large, but
almost as a side-effect they're participating in a far bigger project. At the
end of the day, everybody wins.
