Steve, your fears are duly noted. Keep in mind that it is the PMC that must be unanimous--not the general committer populus.
I am sure that people who have a proven track record of being able to work with others can come to agreement. I am also sure that unanimous has to work any time there is a legal issue at stake. Remember PMC does not make technical decisions so there is unlikely to be an undue amount of blocking--and never for frivolent reasons.
PMC is responsible to oversee the legal aspects of this community.
Two points:
1) If a PMC gets to the point of being deadlocked to the point where it is no longer functional, it will simply be disolved. Conceivably, at that point, proposals for a new PMC may be entertained by the board.
2) Code commits, arguably the most technical aspect of *any* project, are to be done in accordance to a "consensus based development process".
