It's an interesting idea in principle. Unfortunately, a large
proportion of the top GNOME developers are employed by some
GNOME-related corporation, and this trend is only likley to increase.

Thinking about it more though, I think the limit for maximum number of
members affiliated with any given corporation should be lower than
50%. 5/11 members would still be a serious amoount of control.
