Those issues are mostly related to the fact members of the
team basically never meet physically.
As already stated for communication, tools must be

other;
Each role being clearly attribued, an auto-regulating
system emerges. When a kernel team is in place, new-comers
either inegrate it and benefit of all trust from others, either
leave it.
