What if large open source projects appointed a community manager to handle things like codes of conduct and social spaces? Anecdotally, those who make large projects are often the worst at actually running a community. Even volunteer projects need management. Flat organizations will always be dominated by ad-hoc in-group politics. The internet we’ve created thus far is allowing terrible people to outpace good people by a long shot.
BDFLs aren't community builders
