Wouldn't it technically be anarchy?
I think because everyone can contribute, its more like adhoc collectivism
With a dictator at each branch, since the branch owner has final say in every decision.

Hm, it depends on the context. Any open source project, or fork thereof would be an independent isolated instance with it's own practices — e.g. authoritarian, anarchist, democratic, etc.
