As far as increased responsiveness, that's addressed by the Snappy effort, which you can follow here[2] as a sort of sister-blog to Nicholas' MemShrink reports.

Your contributions, on the other hand, are much more content-free, being mostly value judgements against Chrome's PR or the supposed overconfidence of their programmers. And while you do brush on more technical matters, you do so by name-dropping products rather than being informative and describing the relevant security property.
There's also the option of Gerrit which puts most of this in a single WAR (not gitweb, though as with gitolite the integration is documented), with a code review workflow on top.
The differences between Pinterest and GitHub are that: GitHub is more unique (it's not strictly social media and there's more homework to do); it's bootstrapped and negociates from a stronger position; VCs want to give start-ups more money than they need because that's how they get paid.
Another point to make is that this is a stronger expectation than simply: don't be an asshole, and that acceptance criteria that don't match the emotional reality of most people (for example, if “thick skin” means you're not allowed to feel bad after being treated harshly) will ghettoise a community.
For example, with e-mail you want to know both the absolute time (so the mail client can indicate how long ago that was) and the sender's local time (important for human interaction).
Implementation wise, making the timezone explicit forces the implementer to think about it at least once and not make the mistake of writing a local time, which works while testing on systems that are on the same timezone and breaks down in the wild.
For certain values of arbitrary; actually the code is restricted to the NaCl sandbox and the Pepper API.
Being entirely open-source, if you outgrow it you can self host or move to an IAAS cloud.
