I agree. Debian has been named as an example of what not to be.Gentoo
has a fast, dynamic and slightly uncontrolled development at the moment,
and I want it to remain like that. Voting etc. seems a bit extreme to
me, the discussions on the mailinglists are working at the moment, so
why change?

Well, maybe a tiny bit more, a kind of global TODO-list would be interesting. 
The project needs a focus, otherwise nothing gets done. 

In my opinion, most devs don't want to be put in a bureaucratical straightjacket,
so let's not scare away the biggest asset of this project, which is the 
developer community.
