I am Kehinde Adebisi I was assigned CVXPY Here is the link to the governance model - https://github.com/cvxpy/org/blob/main/governance.md

CVXPY is an open-source Python-embedded modeling language for convex optimization problems. It has a community of researchers, data scientists, software engineers, and students from all over the world.

CVXPY adopts a combination of the Founder-Leader and Self-Appointing governance models while embracing transparency and contribution. The roles include: Benevolent Dictator for Life - Creator Project Maintainers – Technical Support Lead and Authorities Emeritus Project Maintainers – Previous Project Maintainers (Now less active) Steering Committee – Administrative and Legal Duties

The Decision-Making Process was categorized into Financial and Non-Financial Decisions. Financial Decisions require majority approval from the Steering Committee while Non-Financial Decisions are made through the consensus of the Project Maintainer (Emeritus Project Maintainers are excluded).

Non-Financial Decisions are further broken down as follows: Code-related – Discussed via GitHub issues, pull requests, or a developer call Changes to Public APIs – Approval from at least half of the Project Maintainers Non-Code Related – GitHub issues or a developer call In the event of a lack of consensus on a non-financial decision, the Steering committee, if delegated or the Benevolent Dictator for Life(BDFL) makes the final decision.

When a conflict of interest occurs, members involved in the conflict are allowed to participate in discussions regarding the issue but not in voting or decision-making.

Finding the governance model was relatively easy, it took a quick scan of the repositories, a visit to the website, and a keyword search on the site. The model is also quite precise and comprehensible.
