[opensource-wg] Contribution and credits policy BCP draft

Dear fellow OSS WG participants,

following up on my talk today, I'm sending here the BCP draft for
further discussion.

> Open-source projects SHOULD publish their contribution and credits policy and
> be open about how (and if) people can contribute. Open-source project
> maintainers SHOULD adhere to the published policy and update it when
> circumstances change.
>
> To create such a policy, maintainers can use a [policy guide](https://github.com/contribution-credit/policy/blob/main/policy_guide.md)
> as a starting point. Maintainers are advised to be as open and friendly as they can.

For reference, you can also
[replay my talk](https://ripe88.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/os-wg/) or
[see RIPE 87 OSS WG session](https://ripe87.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/os-wg/).

And here are some previous relevant threads in this list:
- [first draft](https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/opensource-wg/2023-December/000218.html)
- [second draft](https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/opensource-wg/2024-January/000236.html)
- [article at LWN](https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/opensource-wg/2024-May/000270.html)

And that's probably all information you may need for context so please
comment and roast this BCP draft.

Happy contributing and crediting!

Maria
