The one change I would make is to de-emphasize "developers" by replacing "all potential developers to be able to develop MediaWiki" with "all users of MediaWiki to be able to shape MediaWiki". >> * How will governance be enforced?

"enforced" is too strong for anything proposed so far (which is simply that we need a governance model). I was just trying to bring up questions that would arise.
