Wrong, there's more Scala than Java in Lagom's implementation, as is easily verified on the link you provided yourself. See my comment above on some more info on the Scala team.
Different projects require different approaches. The introduction of the community process added 5 new maintainers and the merge of Slick and FreeSlick caused a lot of activity and contributions, so I'm pretty happy.
