Strangely enough, this is a conversation that has been popping up in other
contexts too. We may see an initial attempt before too long.
The tricky part, of course, is finding a way to document the consensus on
best practices without trying to "drive" it too hard.
My own thought is that a good starting place might be a "how to avoid
getting your pull request flamed" document, since there is some semblance
of a consensus there and it's a place where people often make mistakes.
