I would advise first and foremost: Communication on what governance and community management looks like needs to be clearly disclosed and publicly broadcast.

When a few of us tried to find out what was up with AMP 4 Email, despite Malte Ubl repeating the phrase "well lit" like his life depended on it, we managed to suss out the reality that while AMP 4 Email was a mere "proposal" in the AMP project, that Gmail team was doing it the way they wanted internally with no community feedback whatsoever, and that they were committed to making this proprietary format of email without anyone else's input.

It was suggested that AMP was "open" and "well lit", but it was actually an entirely internal project to an entire different team at Google, and no outside feedback was wanted or accepted. And it took repeatedly asking the question to get a clear answer on it.

Questions like governance (in AMP's case, "benevolent" dictator for life) were hard to get answers to and sometimes came with subtle threats to "enforce the CoC" if they didn't like the topic of conversation, despite it being respectfully inquired.
