How to manage block governance

[annezazu]

Pulling out of this issue: WordPress/gutenberg#49592 (comment) I think the topic of governance cuts across many audiences from higher ed to enterprise to agencies. Knowing what methods are reliable and how granular you can get is incredibly important. I think having a post outlining tried and true methods, along with perhaps a call for feedback, would help more folks save time in approaching adopting blocks in a way that works for them/their use case. This might also help us cycle feedback into the project so we can continue to improve the developer experience of managing these various pieces.

Note that there was some confusion over the term "governance" in the editorial group meeting: https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C03RL47B3S8/p1683208076888709

It's my understanding that we're primarily referring to controlling when a block is available. Some examples might include disabling blocks altogether or contextually making blocks available to end-users (other examples?).

I'd agree there. This could also include general management of permissions.

I can pick this one up. It ties nicely with the other articles I am working on/have written.
