Do-ocracy. Just because none of those devs want it enough to implement it, doesn't mean they'd turn away somebody who did. If somebody wants it bad enough, they'll do it.

> Do-ocracy.

I love this word.

I'm apparently behind the times, though: It's on Urban Dictionary and I love their example

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=do-ocracy

> “Jeez, why does Mary get to decide what everyone eats and when they work? Who put her in charge?” Older and wiser heads will say, “This is a do-ocracy. If you think you can do Mary’s job, and you want to, then get up there and do it. She’ll probably be relieved. If not, don’t be a jerk and make a big stink about it, or else she’ll stop working so hard and we won’t have anything to eat!”

... which is apparently taken from:

... which is another wiki I'll have to dive into.
