1. Define reasonable limits for your future decisions, so people know what to expect. 2. Let active contributors have a say in the really important decisions. That way, people know that it won't be possible for some "inner circle" to act without their consent. A good example for this is the way *future* license changes will be handled according to the Contributor Terms: Besides other requirements, there is a guarantee that licenses will be free and open (-> reasonable limit for future decisions) and that there will be a vote among active contributors. This is actively marketed as a reason for trust.[1] Why don't we apply some of these ideas to the current license change, too?
