Add an Infrastructure Guide

[ethanrd]

Add an Infrastructure Guide to document how we manage the infrastructure behind the CF Website, the CF Conventions document, the CF Standard Names table, and the CF standardized region list.

We already have a PR (#106). This issue is for discussion and agreement on the changes.

There appears to be general agreement that this change/addition is needed. Some details have been discussed and folded into the PR.

Are there some changes that still need to be agreed and folded into the PR?

Would the website itself be the most appropriate place for this? My feeling is that the CONTRIBUTING.md is a better place: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/setting-guidelines-for-repository-contributors

In conventions issue 369 Daniel @erget and I have proposed merging the conventions rules page on the website with CONTRIBUTING.md in the conventions repo. I suggest we could take the same approach with the website repo i.e. put the infrastructure guide in an obviously named file in the repo (maybe CONTRIBUTING.md, as @DocOtak suggests), and also link this file from the website. That gives people two ways to find the same thing.

The Infrastructure Guide and the CONTRIBUTING.md file seem distinct to me. The CONTRIBUTING.md file describes the ways contributors can contribute and the rules for going about that. Whereas the Infrastructure Guide describes how the maintainers go about converting the content of the repos into the end products. The CONTRIBUTING.md file might refer to the Infrastructure Guide but I don't think it should contain it.

Fair enough. If the infrastructure guide is a different file, we can still both link it from the web and give it a name in capitals in the repo, so that it will be noticed there too.
