LOL, I think it would be mighty difficult to duplicate Debian's
governance. I think doing so would require years of smugly satisfied
ossification. Judging from this mailing list, as well as #devuan and
#debianfork, I'd say we're as far from Debian's governance as
conceivable.

Pre-cisely. We don't know our best governance yet. Also, if we don't
deliver a distro, all the rest is a moot point.
