Observing subsequent discussion over the wording of this point, I
wonder whether the prior bullets (particularly the one just above,
"Empower motivated people ...") already captures that intent?

On the basis that, if the written thing is not the right thing then it
probably ought to be rewritten, and that if the other principles are
being adhered to then people in the community will be doing the right
things anyway, whatever is written.

(But I think this is definitely tweaking details -- based on the
explanations given I'm not against the last bullet, just not sure it's
strictly necessary :)

I think adding something explicit about sustainability, meaning
avoiding dependence on too small a set of people, seems sensible.
