Note: This decision was amended by End requirement to use Repolinter and a textual definition of the common repository structure is now available: https://tsc.hyperledger.org/repository-structure.html

Overview of Proposal

Hyperledger would benefit from a common repo structure which presents the same elements consistently. This includes:

README
SECURITY
CODEOWNERS
CODE_OF_CONDUCT
CONTRIBUTING
LICENSE
MAINTAINERS
NOTICES

Formal Proposal(s)

Adopt repolinter with a policy as in Fabric PR#630. Each repo will add the same repolint.json file and the CA team (or preferably CI) will periodically run a check to ensure projects are in compliance. Additionally, we should establish a template repository that has LICENSE, NOTICE, CoC and Security default files.
