Existing governance models often fall into two extremes—fully open (exposing projects to security risks) or tightly controlled (discouraging contribution). - -We present the Tri-Perimeter Contribution Framework (TPCF), a graduated trust model organizing contributors into three concentric perimeters based on expertise, commitment, and trust level. Through a mixed-methods study of TPCF implementation in vext (N=100 developers surveyed, 20 interviewed), we demonstrate that graduated trust models can simultaneously increase community participation (+43% first-time contributors), maintain code quality (zero security incidents), and improve contributor well-being (31% reduction in contribution anxiety). - -TPCF provides a practical, replicable governance pattern for small to medium open source projects seeking sustainable, inclusive growth without sacrificing security or quality. - -## 1. Introduction - -### 1.1 The Governance Dilemma - -Open source software powers critical infrastructure, yet project governance remains an unsolved challenge.
