What? Opensource software doesn't have 1 governance model and most of it starts out as basically a pure authoritarian run. It's only as the software ages, grows, and becomes more integral that it switches to more democratic forms of maintenance. Even then, the most important OS code on the planet, the kernel, is basically a monarchy with King Linus holding absolute authority to veto the decision of any of the Lords. Most stuff is maintained by the Lords but if Linus says "no" or "yes" then there's no parliament which can override his decision (beyond forking the kernel).
