One important issue in my view is the contribution policy. I would see 
as good a liberal one: give commit rights to everyone who made a 
sensible significant contribution to the wiki, so that they may 
contribute as they see fit (I hope it is technically realizable in the 
current wiki, or that the necessary changes to the current organization 
are possible). This has a double advantage in my opinion: it encourages 
participation and, since a wiki grows well with many small 
contributions, it reduces by much the work for the wiki maintainers.

I got the idea from here some time ago: 
https://opensource.com/life/16/5/growing-contributor-base-modern-open-source 
(I reread it quickly and it look like it is the place where I found it 
for the first time). It is set as a policy here: 
https://github.com/Level/community/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md.

Maybe one could get commit rights after just the *first* sensible and 
valuable contribution.
