summary
TAG Contributor Strategy provides ready-made governance and contributor tooling: a repo of contributing.md template, contributor ladder and three governance templates (maintainer, election, subproject), a CRM runbook showing how teams use Salesforce-style CRMs to tag contributors and automate outreach, a project health measurement doc, and a contributor growth framework. Resources are two years old, maintainer circles meet roughly monthly, and Vitesse reports the governance templates successfully helped restructure their governance.
