What would you like to know about governance strategies for open source research software projects?

I’d be interested to hear about options how established projects can make it attractive for young PhDs / postdocs to contribute. I mean, if others have worked on a project for a few years, it gets harder for new people to significantly move the project forward with a given time investment (e.g. a week or month or year of their life). So the older and larger a codebase is, the harder it is to attract young people, and one has to somehow actively promote and reward new contributors, no?
