Add New Pattern: Centralised Repository Governance

[amburi]

This document outlines a governance pattern for managing repository settings across large organizations. It details the problems of inconsistent settings, the proposed solution of a central governance repository, and the components involved in implementing automated audits.

Hi @amburi. Great to see your contribution here!

Did you close this PR by accident or on purpose?

Hi @spier Thanks for your comment 😄
It’s not accidental — this pattern needs some additional work. I’ll address it in a separate PR once that’s done.

@amburi cool, I am looking forward to that.

As an aside, at a previous org I maintained a service that I called github-like-a-pro.
It was performing very basic checks (README, description, stale branches, CODEOWNERS).
In my case in all happened in github (i.e. using github issues, webooks, etc).

Now back to your pattern, some other thoughts:

• What are the things that the governance would control that related immediately to InnerSource?
• I vaguely remember somebody talking about an "InnerSource linter", which also meant a thing that would check check for certain files. I had quick look but I don't think anybody wrote a pattern about it yet

And last but not least: Feel free to share your pattern in a PR early and often, so that I and others here can help you to make it awesome :)

Thanks again for thinking of sharing your work in this repo!
