There's not really a foundation that manages development - there's one that holds the trademark etc. but that's largely the extent of its activities and there are some geographical associations. The development is just managed by the community - there's a number of committers that technical authority to make decisions, there's the "core team" that resolves conflicts should they otherwise not be resolvable, release team, infrastructure team, ... but these are just people working together.
