Well yes, that's what the pm of Godot is successfully doing isn't it? We can make a non-woke fork, but the original Godot is forever tainted because the owners do whatever they want to do and silence all dissent.
Although it's arguable whether whoever let this goblin manage the project in the first place failed to gatekeep or knew exactly what he was doing. That's not a specifically open source problem.
Sure - gatekeeping means keeping them out of the chain of command. Being open source means they could create their own parallel command structure by forking the project, but it doesn't compel you to invite them into yours.
Even from a libertarian perspective, I can't argue that the long history of Open Source, Open Internet, etc was always a LEFT Libertarian sentiment regarding property. I think it still spurred enormous growth and utility, but without typical property boundaries, you can't gate-keep bad actors from intentionally infiltrating a system, and then intentionally sabotaging it as an institution. The only solution in that manner is to build faster than it can be subverted, which is not an easy task.
Is it realistically possible for an open source project to gatekeep?

I've argued no. And oh boy did that activate some almonds.
