Description

We should see about adding something like https://github.com/cfpb/open-source-checklist into our best practices so that we can make sure whatever is released and pushed out is, and stays, "clean" for however we end up defining that.

Some things to watch out for include:
- checked in passwords (see also: https://github.com/18F/seekret)
- internal bitbucket URLs
- others?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's existing best practices and the linked CFPB open-source-checklist and 18F seekret references. Define what “clean” means for released projects, then document checks covering committed passwords, internal Bitbucket URLs, and any other agreed risks.
