• What size project needs a code of conduct? — A code of conduct should be part of the initial foundation of a project. It’s just as important as `git init` to building a healthy community.
• You probably don’t need an LTS release — The time not spent backporting fixes to an LTS release is better spent improving test suites and upgrade paths.
• The importance — or not — of reputation — The problem with reputation is that it doesn’t answer the question you want to answer (unless that question is “who is well-known?”).
• How to close issues — Closing issues keeps the issue tracker more useful. But you have to handle different types of closures differently.
