Responsibilities
Ensure that all code is made lovingly
Create a discussion for any major changes and enhancements that you wish to make. Discuss things transparently and get community feedback.
Keep feature versions as small as possible, preferably one new feature per version.
Be welcoming to newcomers and encourage diverse new contributors from all backgrounds. I think Python's Code of Conduct sums it up nicely.

While not perfect, number of comments is a reasonable proxy for impact a given change will have.
