The ASF has a number of resources created from decades of fostering hundreds of 
software communities in their missions to build amazing software components. 
One of the committees is the Community Development PMC (ComDev)

Please review the following page: 
https://community.apache.org/projectIndependence.html

Particularly:

Apache projects are managed independently
Apache projects must be managed independently, and PMCs must ensure that they 
are acting in the best interests of the project as a whole. It is similarly 
important that the PMC clearly show this independence within their project 
community. The perception that the PMC is run independently and without 
favoring any specific third parties over others is important to help new 
contributors feel comfortable both joining the community and contributing their 
work. A community that obviously favors one specific vendor in some exclusive 
way will often discourage new contributors from competing vendors, and this 
would be issue for the long-term health of the project.

All the best,
Dave
