I used to think that good governance made good policy, but I now realize that it’s used to justify the people making the policy. So all that really matters is picking the right people to make the policy .

In this case, you seem to have a robust democratic process, with a not for profit board, membership, voting rights and more.

Meanwhile GitHub had a better policy despite having the worst possible governance model from an open source perspective (it was a corporation, and likely mostly top down for most of its meaningful development).

But thankfully GitHub was full of great people for the first 15 years or so.
