For the purposes of open source, how is that a good thing? Limited deployments on stable, sure that can be important and sometimes good. But limiting great talent from contributing? What?

Im surprised that its not more prevalent, but this is all Linus' fault (along with his contributors) for why the kernel is difficult to approach for so many reasons. It has become unmaintainable save for some niche areas where people have decided to concentrate their efforts in (graphics). You should be apprehensive about the leadership changing hands. You should be apprehensive about the future of these mailing lists and super complex code. It's not going to disappear on its own. Nonetheless, it will be forced to change, and will probably continue to exist and grow (or something else will in place of Linux).
