More like a disorganizational problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law

>Conway's law is an adage that states organizations design systems that mirror their own communication structure. It is named after the computer programmer Melvin Conway, who introduced the idea in 1967. His original wording was:

>Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure.

>— Melvin E. Conway

In Gnome's case, the structure of its design is a copy of its disorganized communication structure.
