It has been working fine so far and I see no evidence of things changing.
Even if I'm more inline with Stefano's way of seeing things and have a natural tendency of letting things self-organizing, I also agree that having clear rules may ease our job, and fostering work on them is part of my PMC chair job. I looked at Forrest [1] and Excalibur [2] bylaws and I like their way of being minimal yet sufficient by pointing where relevant to the foundation's documents.
We could simply copy/paste them and adapt the "decision making" chapter to reflect the "Cocoon way" which is adds this "spontaneous vote" we saw with PHP block discussion.
