Improve the Github community profile score for The Good Docs org (EPIC)

[barbaricyawps]

The proposal

Improve the Github community profile score for The Good Docs by:

1. Either adding a .github repo or converting the governance repo to a .github repo. See Creating a default community health profile
2. Ensuring this repo has the necessary documents and processes that Github requires.

Our current status

Our score right now is uneven across repos and has room for improvement. For comparison see the community health score for the templates repo vs. the governance repo. The necessary docs are:

• Description
• README
• Code of Conduct NOTE: This exists, but needs to be improved
• Contributing NOTE: This exists, but not in every repo across the org
• License
• Issue templates
• Pull request template NOTE: This exists, but not in every repo across the org
• Repository admins accept content reports

Why should we do this?

First, many new project contributors use this community health meter when deciding whether to contribute to a project. Second, if our mission statement is to help improve documentation in open source, then we need to model this behavior ourselves. That starts by having the docs that Github considers a sign of community health. And, of course, let’s ensure that they are high quality docs!
