The “systemd devs” are anyone with the cash é to contribute to it. Yes, you need to be competent dev for your merges to be accepted, unlike in the virus-infested AUR.
But systemd can be forked if you don’t trust said devs. You’d be in the minority though because the majority of distros out there chose to adopt systemd, because it is that good.

Not really, unless you're employed by one of the big tech companies contributing to it, your pull requests are piped directly to the shredder, same with xorg, gnome, etc. You can fork them, but why bother when it's a mess designed to ensure the employment of its contributors, 'WallyWare' if you will.
