Interesting... It seems like there are real needs for conventions/standards and tooling in several areas. First, Windows desperately needs a proper package manager. There are several projects in the space, but none as successful or prominent as apt, yum, etc. Second, README files seem woefully insufficient for documenting where to send contributions. Doesn't the Linux kernel (and Google internally) have the concept of OWNERS files? If I recall correctly, Google's tools understand these files for the sake of code reviews and bug filing. There is probably also some space for an extended diff/patch format with code review comments. Or a standard format for documenting a version graph. Just spewing ideas...
