Be the change you wish to see in the world; But also assume command, you've got indignation, just fight the devs directly and don't be concerned with what ever assumed power they think they have. eventually all poisonous people must be removed from projects. If it comes to it a coop will work too, it is open source. post to the list that your going to knife and fork (cut and run and start a new project) with the expressed aimed of replacing this corrupt swine's who run the show at the moment. the existing developers are welcome to join in when they agree to the pre set rules of dealing with people and patches from people. I'd also recommend watching googles guide to poisonous people in open source software development. it contains very good information.
