Yes, even there. The system *adopted* Linus as its benevolent dictator and
it *continues to use* that model. At some point, those rules *will end*.
As far as I know, PHP has no formal governance document, but operates
informally like a meritocratic cathedral
<http://oss-watch.ac.uk/resources/governancemodels>.
Anthony's CoC
addresses one component of such a document, and in my opinion it's good for
us to formalize that. (See also the PR triage RFC
<https://wiki.php.net/rfc/github-pr>, which
discusses how external
contributions will be handled.)
