I also mention that I think that mapping could be very useful, particularly for onboarding new people getting involved and increasing the overlap of understanding between those already involved. It can also help to pick out key behaviours/actors to target. I am thinking something like this diagram, as an example
I agree that such mapping seems like it could be very useful for catching people up to speed on a complicated/messy topic more quickly, particularly since I see it as a more efficient/natural way of conveying and browsing information about a controversial or complicated question.
As for the diagram you mentioned, I think that something like that might be helpful, but personally I consider that a map for broader academic questions should probably use semantically-richer relationship information than just (+) and (-). For an example of what I mean, see the screenshots of diagrams I posted in my post on the subject.
