During the discussions of the initial GOVERNANCE.md, @jkarinkl proposed to also provide a CONTRIBUTION_LADDER.md which specifically documents how community members can accent (or descent) to other roles.

If a CONTRIBUTION_LADDER.md is provided, the contributor should also check the GOVERNANCE.md if it does not contradict the “career paths” there and adapt or delete the paths there accordingly.

Alternatively, there is also the option to describe the roles more specific in the GOVERNANCE.md.

For some background information on contribution ladders, see Dawn Foster's talk 'Strategies for Building Healthy Open Source Communities' at FOSDEM 2024. Around 14' see talks about the contribution ladder.
