Adding Governance, Contribution Policy, and CoC

[mikeal]

This is the current governance and contribution policy from @isaacs and @othiym23 that is being presented to the Advisory Board for consideration in nodejs.

[rvagg]

presumably these would need to be filled in first?

[mikeal]

we should agree to the policy and then ask for volunteers. we can accept it with stubs and then put out a call for those volunteers.

[rvagg]

so many words

but 👍

[mikeal]

@indutny we're actually already linking to this in the new README :)

[indutny]

LGTM, we need to fill in emails.

[mikeal]

waiting on a better CoC without the need for an institution.

Personally, I think something shorter for Code of Conduct would do the job, like https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct.

The proposed code of conduct includes things that are not part of the conduct but contribution-considerations like line 23-25.

[isaacs]

@mikeal I misspoke in our meeting today. The Rust-style CoC is actually already in this fork, so I'd recommend just omitting 745ba90, and instead, putting it on the agenda for a future TC decision once we're capable of putting the legals in place to support it.

Besides missing the email addresses for reporting abuse, we're also going to need a policy for receiving reports, grievance procedures, etc. All of that requires a company or foundation or whatever that is going to back it up.

[mikeal]

ok, removed the new CoC in favor of the existing one. @isaacs @indutny we good to merge?

[mikeal]

This is ready to merge, someone should merge it :)

[rvagg]

one "Node" and one "Node.js" reference in this paragraph needs to be fixed

[rvagg]

Sorry @mikeal, the commit trail was such a mess here that I gave up trying to compact it down and just made a new one from scratch, so this is landed in 08e3008 and I took a punt on you not minding having your name on the commit for it.
