Maintaining standard Draft 1

[curtisblackwell]

Jordan's old PR (#14) can't be reopened since it's set to merge into master and we deleted that branch when we switched to using main.

I'm checking all the boxes here to match where we left off, but there's still feedback in there that needs to be addressed. @ashabrah seemed like he may be interested in taking over the effort to get this ready for a vote. Is that accurate, Ashish?

Author checklist

• I'm proposing a single change in this PR.
• I believe the proposed standard:
  • benefits more than it costs us and
  • doesn't conflict with our people-first value.
• The standard's file(s) follow(s) the established directory structure.
• I provided:
  • a succinct summary,
  • reasoning for the proposed change,
  • an example/instructions on how to embody the standard unless repealing, and
  • a longer explanation if appropriate.

Check boxes if requirement met or irrelevant.
