Brian,
Thanks for your reply. I only have a couple of comments.

I'm not sure I'd phrase that like that. I would like all potential
developers to be able to develop MediaWiki and influence its
development to the same extent, regardless of their affiliation.
I like the way you've phrased this.
The one change I would make is to de-emphasize "developers" by replacing
"all potential developers to be able to develop MediaWiki" with "all
users of MediaWiki to be able to shape MediaWiki".
* How will
governance be enforced? How will things change?
Which presupposes that the governance model will enforce things. Will
the governance model be enforcing things, and which "things" will be
in its remit are probably questions that should be asked first.
I agree. "enforced" is too strong for anything proposed so far (which
is simply that we need a governance model). I was just trying to bring
up questions that would arise.
Thanks again for your comments,
Mark.
