Start with CONTRIBUTING.md and GOVERNANCE.md

The GOVERNANCE looks fine but CONTRIBUTING is the CH document as a whole, with lots of stuff not relevant to JBoss Modules.

Although maybe this is a draft?

I misunderstood this:

All CONTRIBUTING.md files should have a section that deals with legal stuff. I recommend largely copying the 'Legal' section from https://github.com/commonhaus/foundation/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md. That is what I'm doing in 'wildfly' and 'wildfly-extras` repos. You should of course edit that to reflect the license that is used instead of MIT.

I didn't read the document closely, just cribbed the whole thing figuring there was a blanket CH policy. Which is arguably not great but hey it was a Friday.

So I think most of the document is actually OK, at least in structure, if I trim out the stuff that's CH-specific. Do we have a better template for projects? If not, I'll modify this one until it seems reasonable and then use that as a template for my other projects as well, I suppose.

@dmlloyd I don't know if these are particularly great but please see https://issues.redhat.com/browse/ELY-2999?focusedId=29049032&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-29049032 and the two attached files.

If one of those seems reasonable please ping me in Zulip; I may have a slightly improved variant locally.

The basic advantage of those is some tens of WF repos already used an earlier variant of that so I used that as an excuse to not think too hard.
