I haven't been all that involved in the LDOGE community.  I tend to pop in and out of the crypto world so never get too dedicated to anything.  Really though, from what I saw in the thread, the whole thing seemed to be a community effort anyway.  There were a lot of people involved in the coin, not the least of which was MinerFTW who saved the coin from death when it was having all the forking issues.  Besides the most recent update (which I didn't see why LDOGE needed this masternode faggotry anyway) and the initial launch, it doesn't seem like aquitasIJ did a whole lot for the coin anyway.  All it would need is someone to take on the official title of lead developer and everyone else can just continue doing what they were doing.
