Secondly, a good governance system would give authority to a representative group to do something about it, being both respectful of the contributors and the product owners.

Thirdly, a good governance model would have structure or the ability to create structure to implement a solution to this issue that’s transparent, fair, and easy to find for contributors.

Unclear to me how, but again, concrete proposals to the OWNERS are how change in this direction would get made.

Right, so maybe you already have a reasonable governance model in place, it’s just not documented properly.

(Also the example I’m talking about is years old and I’m sure many things have changed/improved in the meantime.)

My point, fwiw, isn’t to bash, but to point out that good governance helps make such situations easier to navigate.

Governance is only one tool in the bag, and the one we should reach for least often.

The thing is, governance happens regardless of whether you decide to reach for it or not. Internal teams making decisions that impact open source projects *is* governance. It’s just not written governance.

In a corp-led project like chromium is, the fallback is company policy. Obviously that’s less conducive to trust than a written out policy, if only because it’s opaque to external contributors.

So if creating a more thriving contributor ecosystem around chromium is a goal, a clearer governance model that grants more ownership to contributors will help.

Looking at the thread you started in that list on building more objective criteria to nominate API Owners, I think that not only are we in strong agreement about the end goal, we also agree about how to get there; we’re just using different words.
