• Abstract: The stakeholders involved in software development are becoming increasingly diverse, with both human contributors from varied backgrounds and AI-powered agents collaborating together in the process. This situation presents unique governance challenges, particularly in Open-Source Software (OSS) projects, where explicit policies are often lacking or unclear. This paper presents the vision and foundational concepts for a novel Domain-Specific Language (DSL) designed to define and enforce rich governance policies in systems involving diverse stakeholders, including agents. This DSL offers a pathway towards more robust, adaptable, and ultimately automated governance, paving the way for more effective collaboration in software projects, especially OSS ones.
