Seems like governance is a corporate force that gives us meaning. Maybe we will find projects so large reflecting a hierarchy of accounts are themselves organisms that cannot but survive.

Distributed repositories enable any contributor to supply infra, although that comes with its own challenges. Huge time sink to maintain that, per person, constantly.

Losing access because of centralized management is not one of them, though.
