 No, this is totally wrong.  You're not understanding the point, and it's a basic one.  When people come to the github NIP repo, they need to see who controls it.  This is important project hygiene.  

This is what they see right now, and that's not good enough.  The protocol repo has to be transparent.  The danger of centralization is that bureacracy always starts out serving the people and ends up serving itself.

Nostr must have a clean, transparent, development process.  It's a simple thing to just be transparent and show how has commit access.  I've seen other projects die for this reason alone.  Embrace decentralzation and transparency.

 Doesn't fiatjaf have total control as well? Sure, there might be those who have commit privs, but are there delegates with collab access or other co-ownership of the repo? 
 The point is that nobody knows.  You cant have a closed process in an open project.
