Pattern idea: Move to cross-team shared ownership

[MaineC]

In the Governance Levels we have defined "shared ownership" as a governance level where members of different teams have write access to the InnerSource project.

In organisations that traditionally have been very team- as opposed to product-/InnerSource project focused, moving to this level of ownership can cause trouble as existing information pathways are very team focused. There may be chat channels to get in touch with specific teams - but not with everyone involved with the InnerSource project. Planning may happen locally at the team level - but co-ordination across teams lacking which causes issues for those people trying to work together on the InnerSource project.

The idea of the pattern is to describe the need to integrate the cross team InnerSource project into the existing local teams.
