In general, Matt, I do experience that the wikimedia movement is criticized having too many rules and policies. Add another one does not help.
Without commenting too much on Wikipedia's policies (some of them are necessary, some not so much), I disagree that the technical space has too many policies. We also don't have any existing policy about this.
If somebody does not behave and not contribute, the person is easily shut up.
In my experience, this is not true in our community.
If somebody contributes a lot, some diplomacy is required.
Being a contributor does not give someone a get-out-of-jail-free card for bad behavior.
