Steve Kondik involved with LinageOS?

CyanogenMod was commercialized with the blessing and assistance of Steve Kondik if I understand correctly. During the controversy he affirmed commitment to the community but it's now quite clear that the community and CyanogenMod as a whole suffered greatly from this decision.

Does Steve hold a position of power in the new LineageOS team and if so do we have any reason to believe the same thing won't happen again?

Why is this "quite clear"? From what I heard, Kondick was increasingly marginalized by the powers that be at Cyanogen Inc. until he was all but forced out. I don't see where he was much at fault, if at all.

I believe Steve was the project leader of CyanogenMod at the time Cyanogen Inc. was formed and was instrumental in regards to obtaining funding and commercializing the project. He may well have been marginalized but the fact still stands that the CyanogenMod project would likely still be around today if it wasn't for Steve's actions in helping to create Cyanogen Inc.
