I was all worried about this being the beginning of a proprietary browser, Google owning both a majority of user services and a majority of their browser tech stack. Both hidden in some proprietary garden.

Then I stopped sucking and looked up stuff from the article.

Blink is a part of the chromium project, and is equivalently open[fn:0]. So that means it's equivalent to any other open source fork.

Mailing list drama, duplicating technical work, etc will happen but hopefully this will contribute to having even more high quality open web implementations available.
