It is better to have input from people with a wide range of experience
levels, it results in a fairer vote that actually represents the
population, rather than putting PHP under the control of a select few.
No, it is not. This has nothing to do with "fairness", as we are not enacting laws, levying taxes or distributing subsidies here. To have input from many people is great, moreover - it is necessary. However, it is not the same as deciding by arithmetical majority of votes of whoever cares to vote on technical questions.
