If you think that about any open source project, the answer is simple: create your own fork and do a better job. Competition is the only answer to concerns about the bad effects from a monopoly. (Often the good effects from cooperation and collaboration -- less wasted time and duplicated effort -- turn out to outweigh the bad effects, however) In any event, inquisition isn't "the one and only staging ground for consensus changes" -- every successful consensus change to date has been staged through the developers' own repo then the core PR process, and that option still exists.
