I feel we are trapped in an infinite loop. We already discussed this
several times and we do not agree. In my opinion this is just not true,
but you keep insisting on it.

The "centralization" is very limited since the _only_ actual
centralization is the final code acceptance, and that is only
centralized because nobody else wants to help with the steps that are a
pre-requisite for that but and could be done by anyone (still, Colivre
is the only one reviewing and testing code from others).

And still didn't had convince others that it would bring any benefit.

I think if there are people that are we willing to make the effort
necessary to do a better job at managing the project, they should feel
free to fork and create something better. If you can't convince others
that your way is the better way, you are free to take the current state
of the code and follow your own path. IMO that is a feature, not a bug:
a very good way of knowing that something is better than something else
is *actually trying* that something else.

Of course, it is much better to actually help and contribute to the
existing project by doing the work that most people don't do.
