Documenting the structure of a team can be helpful to integrate newcomers, avoid some conflicts and to accompany the evolution of that structure as a FOSS project grows. This is an attempt to do that for garage, after discussions with multiple maintainers. The aim of this text is to document the status quo, offering a start for further incremental updates. I propose to put it as `GOVERNANCE.md` file because this naming has emerged as a sort of standard in FOSS projects. I would be happy to help facilitate such updates if there is interest (while being aware that project members have other things on their plates and that governance work can be taxing).

Garage 
[ Website and documentation | Binary releases | Git repository | Matrix channel ]
Garage is an S3-compatible distributed object storage service designed for self-hosting at a small-to-medium scale.
Garage is designed for storage clusters composed of nodes running at different physical locations, in order to easily provide a storage service that replicates data at these different locations and stays available even when some servers are unreachable. Garage also focuses on being lightweight, easy to operate, and highly resilient to machine failures.
Garage is built by Deuxfleurs, an experimental small-scale self hosted service provider, which has been using it in production since its first release in 2020.
