Linter for basic project structure

[cornelius]

We require certain files such as README, LICENSE, CODE_OF_CONDUCT, CONTRIBUTING, MAINTAINER, GOVERNANCE, etc. We could set up a linter which checks this structure and maybe also for some necessary content. This linter could be run as part of the onboarding process.

@cornelius, could that be based on our internal Open Source Linter? In some way, it has more features than OpenRail would require, on the other hand our linter doesn't check all of these files (but could be quite easily extended to do it).

[cornelius]

That's a good idea. We could check it by running the linter on the OpenRail projects and see how useful it currently is and what is missing. If we find it useful we can discuss open sourcing the linter.

OK, I will pick this up in the following weeks.
