Our discussion some months ago was public, just like this one.

Most discussions among devs are public. Some aren't because we feel
certain sensitive topics are better discussed in an environment where
nobody is afraid to speak their mind. That includes topics like the
addition of new developers, although like Lukas said in most cases those
solely contain positive support for the proposal.

Again, to the best of my knowledge, all devs are very happy with this
process and do not want to change it.

Feel free to explain what does not currently work as best as it could,
what could be simplified, what could be more contributor friendly, etc.
If you discussed specific problems, we could all have a go at proposing
solutions a little more realistic than overhauling our organisational
structure...

What I think is most wrong with your current and previous "proposals" is
that you obviously don't understand how the present dev system works,
yet you want to change it! Have some humility, man, and remember this
system has worked for about a hundred devs and for over a decade.

Cheers.
