What happens when Linus retires (or god forbid dies)? He can't defuse those situations forever, there needs to be some sort of process.

Someone will have to take over Linus' role. There's no way that kernel development can work without a person in charge, at least not in anyway that is remotely similar to today.
Not being remotely similar to today could be a very good thing.
If you can point to a better model of a more successful kernel that would be interesting to read about.

Good for who? External parties that want to force their vision of what the project should be?
