There's a relevant blog post here that discusses governance approaches for open-source research software projects. It points to three examples: the Carpentries, NumPy, and node.js.

One difference between Landlab and NumPy (in addition to the scale and scope obviously) is that Landlab exists as a package within CSDMS, and so I think it would make sense to formally acknowledge the link with CSDMS.
