I was understanding do-o-cracy as a political philosophy here where 
influence and power of individuals is based on how much they do.

And i tried to explain that if you'd apply this to the OSM wiki in 
isolation it would not be able to fulfill its function in OSM in the 
long term any more.  For that influence and power of people on the wiki 
needs to be influenced by how beneficial their work is for OSM as a 
whole.  I am not claiming this is easy to determine but it should be 
the benchmark to apply - which is what i am suggesting everyone to do 
here.
