IMHO (as myself and not representing the CC).

The project already has technical leaders.
The project already has great talent.
The project has some semblance of democratic processes.

The project is hard to work with or seemingly "hostile, non-welcoming"
because we are using ancient workflows that aren't conducive to new innovation,
or iterative development.

Sure, there are grievances between people as there will be in any team.
But what I feel is that these grievances get exacerbated, or
productivity is lost,
because it is 2025 and we have outgrown the tooling in use.

That does not mean there can't be bridges to the ML pattern or integrations
to give people the experience they like.

But I think people would feel a lot less stressed and more productive
if our tooling is modernized.

Just my 2 cents.
