In a strange way it is. Its like the Debian thing and to an extent like the
IETF. The people who care enough about it get it done, other people get
to 'contribute'. Then whether anyone listens depends on the quality and
value of the work.

Consensus more in an IETF style is what happens now. Its very informal and
much more friendly. Voting actually requires people take sides and divide
into two sub gnome-projects over things.
