 liked some, didn't like others.  "etiquette guidelines" doesn't have
the same toxic punch as "code of conduct" is well-known for.  liked
the idea of including the VCS and if it's libre-hosted (likewise for
bugtracker) but *not* the wording you chose ("self-hosted").
self-hosted could mean "proprietary and therefore unethical" and
people would put "yeah it's GR8 maaan!" so i changed it back
*specifically* to "is it libre hosted yes or no" because that's really
important.

 basically we're collating info - evidence - that ethical (or
unethical) practices support a project's lifecycle... and other
obseervations.  what practices make a project both ethical *and*
long-term successful.

 also i turned the table round by 90 degrees as i could see it getting
far too long, and then broke them down into related groups.  still
some TODO.
