Frankly I think the latter is generally the better option in many cases; democracy is a nice idea but can end up resulting in a complete mess; he's the one doing the work after all, if people want something different they are welcome to use another distribution, or perhaps pay him to do some work for them!

It's an interesting case I think, with Free Software in general; there's a conflict between democracy and meritocracy that can be quite crippling.
