This omits significant context from the conversation.  (Ah, the perils 
of trying to follow a discussion across multiple wikis, it is not your 
fault Anthere.)

I also said, but can't find where, that I think that people are reading 
far too much into "governs" and "manages".  I think that, read properly, 
there is absolutely no question that the foundation governs and manages 
the projects: as always, and this includes Anthere, and everything that 
she has supported over the years.

Does it mean that the foundation is involved in every little decision? 
Of course not, but that is not what "governs" and "manages" means.
