Common repository settings

[egekorkan]

After @ashimura pointed me to https://w3c.github.io/ during the Marketing Call 27.09 (at w3c/wot-marketing#326 (comment)). There are quite a bit suggestions there that we do not use. I will just highlight them here and we can discuss to do these or not:

• Removing Projects and Wiki if not used (https://w3c.github.io/best-practices.html#settings)
• Enforcing code reviews (https://w3c.github.io/best-practices.html#settings)
• Common fields such as description, website, tags and topics (https://w3c.github.io/best-practices.html#fields). I see that we have a lot discrepancy between our repositories. (see https://github.com/w3c/wot-discovery/ for example)
• Boilerplate files such as issue, pr templates, codeowners etc. (https://w3c.github.io/best-practices.html#boilerplate)
• Using the checker provided at https://github.com/w3c/validate-repos . (https://w3c.github.io/best-practices.html#tools)

Everything above was actually from a single document at https://w3c.github.io/best-practices.html . The other documents are useful but we are currently doing the recommendations in them.

• Not a setting, but apparently there is a W3C tool/dashboard called midgard, described as:

Keeping Track with Midgard
Because work that happens on GitHub is spread out across many repositories, it can be challenging to remain informed about what's going on. Midgard helps there by filtering the data into mailboxes so that you can for instance get all the events for WebRTC repositories. Log in there with your W3C credentials, and just start using it. Note: it does not at this time have many filters and it is likely that your area of interest may not yet have one. If you wish to add one (which is easy) you should read the documentation on Pheme filters.

I think that this would be quite useful for the group since we have so many
