NAK AFAIK, at least at altermundi we're too busy as well

to add to what Isaac said, in my experience it works a bit like:
1) you start collaborating, ad-honorem, with some other group or person
2) those interactions go well and/or increase
3) then it feels natural to present a joint proposal, to whatever call

apart from that, i also fail to see the competition when two or more 
groups present different proposals to the same call:
no matter which of them win, that means money coming in for the 
mesh/wifi/floss big community, which produce libre software, which means 
everyone wins
