I think you are wrong. Just look over the archives of the
past few months.
Some examples of the CentOS developers asking for community
input over the
last few months.:

- Yesterday's e-mail asking opinions about the testing
repository.
- Johnny's e-mail a while back soliciting opinions about the
plus kernel.
- The invitation to help writing documentation and
participating in the
Wiki. Many Wiki-related proposals have been discussed on
mailing-lists.
- Discussion about continuance of the SPARC port.
- Karanbir's requests for feedback on the server CD.
- Karanbir's request to write a plugin that deals with
updating yum itself.

And the list goes on. I think the problem is that it is hard
to find
people who contribute time to the project on a constant and
permanent
basis. Besides that, CentOS is an enterprise distribution,
so it is quite
natural that the opinion of the CentOS Developers (who have
proven their
expertise and reliability) is weighed heavier than those of
"some people
who just pass by".

Remember that it is often better for a technical project to
function as a
meritocracy than a democracy.
