I have just a small comment about this: I think we use "meritocracy"
to mean that someone who *adds value* to a project gets more rights
and responsibilities.

And "adding value" has nothing to do with who you are, it just means
you are making positive contributions to a project.

Framing things like that, and maybe finding a simple way to express
that concept, might help.

https://www.apache.org/theapacheway seems to make good steps in that direction, and is the message that we need to be getting behind, and linking to, when communicating what we mean.
