Define an independent conduct-reporting route.
When the maintainer is involved, name an independent moderator and provide a private contact route. The documented public-issue fallback does not establish independent handling.

Define the release-approval fallback for fewer than three maintainers.
The general voting fallback requires unanimous participation, but the release rule only refers to an undefined “existing process.” Specify who approves releases and which release checks apply when fewer than three active maintainers exist.
