As I understand it.

I don't think the github repo is going to work for either YP or OE
since there are repositories in both that use pull requests and we
can't have a one size fits all message. I think that means we would
have to do this with a .github directory in the repos themselves.

Also note, the global repos probably need TSC agreement. On a per repo
basis it would fall to the maintainer.

Yoann: Thanks for looking into this!
