So, no provisions for respecting the author of the code, or deferring to 
the technical opinion of the maintainer of a particular part of Emacs? 
Even for non-critical issues?

One would think a project as old GNU would have considered non-technical 
aspects like that. If only to avoid ostracizing contributors.

leave those areas to the people who work on them, to divide up the
task.

This makes is sound like the bulk of the work is performed by people 
tasked with the said work by the maintainers. Which is very often not 
the case.
