Clay, Great question and one that made me think quite a bit. I believe that while the commits in the Governance repo represent the visible actions of the TC, the real leadership ability of the TC is often in the actions that it inspires in people in the community. The TC is a body that has to lead

One thing I wish the TC could do more in the past years is that make users and developers in the same page: share requirements, pain points and development progress, glad we have some ways to shorten the feedback loop like building SIG(Special Interest Group) to involve more users. 2017-10-13 2:3

For me "Write down OpenStack principles" [1] signaled the start of an more open TC. It was writing down principles that I had been told about verbally when I started working on OpenStack, and had been part of a "shared understanding" for some people who had been in the community for a while. This
