  On the technical side, vetos definitely exist,
and they exist now.

 The Release Manager (Coolo) ultimately decides what goes into
 openSUSE.  ie. The Release Manager has veto power. 
I challenge this. yet Coolo have some power on paid suse people.

if you where the only maintainer of grub and decided to stop it, I 
don't see what coolo could do.

 I have no issue with that reality.  Coolo does a great job from what I
  can tell.  But to claim he doesn't have that
power is to be blind to
 reality. 
your overestimate his power. I'm pretty sure one of his higher quality 
 is diplomacy :-). I'm very admirative about
him :-! Of course His 
advice have weight.

Yes, he's a great diplomate, but a sc is also important when there
occurs a "fight" between progressives and clnservatives. These
discussions are often very offending and sometimes more subjective then
anything other. Here a sc has to intervene and negioate as a fair
Balance between both parties

I guess that's the reason why per (and also i) wants to have such a sc.

now I am very happy with
   the way
things work, but what if one of the other sponsors wanted to
 have more say so at the steering committee level.  How would that be
 addressed? 
hiring developpers. Even users can do that if they are enough

The release manager have power when he have a real choice, yes, and 
it's important. But real choice is not that often in the opensource
world
