We have such systems in place - see Wikipedia and/or Stackoverflow. Both platforms IMHO have become stagnant messes. A group of people who spend waaayyyyy too much of their life on those platforms and by now identify with it way too much get power-hungry. It's "their" platform now. While still being able to deliver some value a lot of the fun and "feeling easy" about or when using the platforms actively (instead of just passively looking at what they produce) is gone.

It's equivalent to managers or politicians who are in power for too long. Basically, the 0.1% who contribute the most are the ones who should actually get thrown out of "office" occasionally.
