I just humbly follow the NumPy documentation guidelines: 

https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/doc/HOWTO_DOCUMENT.rst.txt

Maybe it's a little bit unfair because I wrote that too :)  But I think consistency amongst all the scipy-projects is important.

As for being the boss, I guess I'd make a pretty lame Godfather since I already gave @ahojnnes (amongst others) permissions to remove myself from the project administrator's list :)
