There have been no votes on changing official policy. I'm not aware of any
planned changes to the tooling, but maybe there are conversations I am unaware of.

A hypothetical example, some hires a fellow or two to port OpenSSL to a new unique platform, not currently supported. The OMC doesn't want to support this platform, but it ends up in the source.

In that example the potential conflict of interest comes from the individual's
employment with the third party organisation, not because they are fellows.
