summary
Practical playbook for keeping graduated CNCF projects alive: stepwise governance templates (maintainer council, multi‑repo, elected steering) and contributor ladder templates to onboard and promote people; measurement advice using DevStats plus migration to LFX Insights and the companies table to spot org concentration; templates for issue/PR responsiveness, roadmaps, emeritus roles, mentorship and shadow programs; CHAOSS practitioner guides for health metrics and concrete remediation steps. Watch if actionable templates and metric-driven fixes matter.
