Wanted to point everyone here in the direction of a new report we at Other Internet just published.
It's called The State of Uniswap Governance: A Paradox of Minimization
Here's an abstract:
Other Internet embarked on a listening tour with a diverse set of Uniswap stakeholders during the first quarter of 2022. Our aim was to identify the most pressing issue areas within the Uniswap community and provide ideas to improve protocol governance. The “paradox of minimization” is a thread that ran through almost all our conversations: how can we think about increasing governance participation when Uniswap’s governance surface area has been quite purposefully constrained? With so few affordances for taking action on the protocol itself, community energy has gravitated towards web3’s ecosystem-wide issues like L2 scaling solutions and mechanisms for multi-chain governance. But in order for projects in this domain to be successful, Uniswap governance needs more off-chain organizational structures and processes to facilitate coordination across the complex web of stakeholders. We explore the multidimensional nature of this problem and propose potential pathways forward.
To put our money where our mouth is, we've collected a variety of high-priority governance 'interventions' that anyone with the right motivation could pick up and be the torch bearer for.
Hope this report can kick of some interesting conversations about how to improve governance.

Good stuff!It is pretty informative reading this report
It is pretty informative reading this report. It contains an excellent overview which a beginner should understand about Uniswap governance.

Good stuff! I think it represents a good overview of what we are dealing with.

Informative and insightful read. Thanks for that!
I have some comments about a couple of points in the "table of interventions".
Reimburse gas fees for voting and delegation

Allow protocol fees to be sent to arbitrary addresses … instead of tokenholders
