Description

## Feature

We would like to have better documentation on how to create good open source software documentation as guidance for Department organizations wishing to open source things. This should include things like relevant sections of a "contributing" doc (not just a link to an example), how to write and review PRs, good commit messages, how to write a good GH issue, etc.

## Page(s) Affected

This could go on https://www.code.mil/how-to-open-source.html ("How to Open Source"), but it could live on it's own page, linked a couple of places.
