I think so too. Maybe it will turn out fine, maybe not. Personally I've been looking at git histories and waiting a month or so before getting excited, just to see if it will pan out.
Yup, a month is a good first checkpoint for a project. People tend to get really excited early on, but then they either get bored and move on, or start running into some hard problems they didn't anticipate. If somebody can work on a project for a month in sustained fashion, there's good chance they're actually using it themselves and will have the motivation to keep going.
