It currently is a company (Gentoo Technologies Inc.) but steps are being
taken to become a non-for-profit organisation.

Daniel Robbins is leading the Gentoo project. There is no election procedure,
and as Daniel is doing a great job, none has been requested.

Gentoo has several top-level projects [1]. Each project is in charge for a
well-defined part of the distribution. When decisions need to be made, the 
situation is discussed at the appropriate mailinglists/channels, after
which the Gentoo managers (the leads of the top-level projects) get together
to discuss the situation and vote.

Everybody can propose to alter the Social Contract.
