Governance in FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) is not some unsolvable mystery, BTW. My late friend Pieter Hintjens actually wrote a book on how to get it right. It centers on the C4 (Community Code Construction Contract) approach that removes ego from the process, if implemented right, and welcomes new contributors (even if just fly-by) through optimistic merging. ZeroMQ is quite happy and thriving with that approach. Chapter 4 of Social Architecture https://hintjens.gitbooks.io/social-architecture/content/chapter4.html 1/5
