I actually suggested to GitHub back when the topics feature first came out that I thought the ability to submit topic recommendations to repos would be beneficial, since maybe some repo owners don't know about topics, or don't know which ones would help their discovery, or maybe (like a lot of PRs) would accept the suggestion but can't be bothered to do the legwork Now that ".github" is a thing, putting the topics in there would allow a real PR workflow for suggestions
