create .github repo

original issue is here: #1263 (comment)

the CPC agreed to create this repo and populate the appropriate files

imo, go for it.

the CoC source of truth can either be in the CoC repo or in .github, and the other one should have a markdown file that links to the source of truth.

As long as the source-of-truth CoC stays in the CPC repo, I'm good.

That's fine, but can you elaborate on why that matters? If the source of truth was the .github repo, the CPC repo's file would contain a link to the new location.

The reason it matters is that if the source of truth is in the .github repo, github will automatically pick it up and display the link on PRs and whatnot.

the source of truth would ideally be in the .github repo, but this matter is separate from this issue which is just about creating the repo itself

@ctcpip I created this repo and gave write permissions to the cpc-voting-members team (which I invited you to). I do need to audit that list, but that is a different task. Let me know if you need anything additional.

Coordinating changes across repo adds friction, causes risk of things getting out of sync, and tends to delay the CPC getting things done, so the benefits have to commensurable, imho.

Yeah, I don't see a ton of value in this happening for repos on the openjs-foundation GH org, tbh.
