Chooses and documents an open-source project's governance model - decision rights, maintainer roles and promotion, voting and consensus rules, conflict escalation, succession, trademark and asset control, and whether to join a foundation or fiscal host. Use whenever someone asks who decides in their project, wants to write or fix a GOVERNANCE.md, is adding or removing maintainers, worries about bus factor or a single-vendor-controlled project, faces a deadlocked or contested decision, or is preparing a foundation donation - even if they only say the project has no rules. Covers solo, company-backed and multi-vendor projects. Not license, CLA or DCO choice - use samber/developer-relations-skills@oss-license-strategy. Never legal advice.
