When you need to inherit something that big (a corporation, programming language, a missle, etc.), you need to make sure that it won't be cannibalized or just killed outright. So you delegate your powers to a group of optimal number of people.

Yes it's boring, yes it's slow, yes it's bureaucratic, but it's realistic and pragmatic. Python will continue to grow if they can run this governance model well. They can become debian of the programming languages.
