My worry is less about big projects being inclusive and multinational, and more about whether there are clear guidelines and specific reasons given when people are kicked off or otherwise demoted.

I guess that's it. Open source is a fantasy that started coming to an end about 15 years ago. We lived in a fantasy world in 90s-00s, where there were no governments, no corporations and almost no people that make you shake your head. It was so easy (and of course silly, in the hindsight) to believe, that the internet is some another world, where earthly matters do not concern us. And everything was just about improving this world for ourselves. It's not like people often agree to work for free otherwise. Working for free is incompatible with capitalism, and we learn to believe that nothing else is truly possible in the real world. It's not like "open source" doesn't have a point in that imperfect world with governments, corporations and 8B people, that the internet seemed disconnected from for a while, it just doesn't have place. It simply almost doesn't happen there.
So, now the real world has slowly catched up to that fantasy world of ours. The winter has really come.
