I think you're overreacting a bit. We're not a country, we're a project
and devrel is not that different from other influential sub-projects
inside Gentoo.

First of all, I believe that devrel controls devrel. That is,
if a single member of devrel does abuse his power, the other members
should be responsible for handling that.

Secondly, there's infra. Unless I'm mistaken, infra holds even more
de-facto power than devrel. Even if whole devrel starts to abuse their
powers, I believe that infra should use their common sense to prevent
that.

Thirdly, there's the community. Seriously, if everything goes wrong,
the community will react. Devrel members should have enough reason to
listen whenever community agrees that their behavior is wrong.
In the worst case, community leaves and there's devrel alone with no
power but to control one another.
