Actually, Linux is a good example of why management is very useful.
The initial work was done by one person workign alone, so management
wasn't very meaningful.
But now, it seems everybody is developing packages for it and there's
all sort of incompatibily problem between (e.g.) versions of
libc, binutils, and GCC, to say nothing of multiple different object
file formats in use.
These problems are due to lack of a central management.
GCC is another example of a successful and large program developed
by "techies over the Internet", but there *is* one person in
overall charge of that effort (originally RMS and now me) who makes
sure that it's all coordinated.
