The only thing that sounds worse than design by committee is design by democracy. Do you know of any successful projects that are managed this way?

My words were not clear, I meant and edited to "semi-democratic" way. The voting is one indicator but I also believe strong vision and strategy of leader is the key to success.

And my point was not +1 button but splitting code into open source "Client side + Test-backend" and closed sourced "Production-backend". Backend can be composed of some interface and multiple implementation such as test impl and prod impl. Actually Github could be hosted in Azure and I do not care their backend as I go github.com anyway.
