Project maturity aside, I was with you up until the last sentence.
Then you haven't seen what the EU has been up to :) Talk about over-regulation...
The PMC is supposed to be performing "the active management of one or more projects", not ensuring that other people are doing it. The PMC is not supposed to be a body of auditors. I see your analogy as describing self-managing bodies, i.e., projects with their own PMC, who operate a collective for the common good.
Because the PMC would consist of those doing the active management (i.e. the active, interested committers) , we have things covered.
