Ryan Schultz 2bd59e53c9 docs: ADR 004; CHANGE_TEMPLATE; GitHub repo scope in config
- docs/decisions/004-no-per-repo-tier-weighting.md — records why all GitHub repos
  are weighted equally; prevents the question from being re-litigated from scratch
- docs/sites/CHANGE_TEMPLATE.md (renamed from RETIREMENT_TEMPLATE.md) — covers weight
  adjustments, scope changes, and full retirement in one template
- config.yaml — added github.repos list to define collection scope explicitly
- docs/sites/active/github.md — reverted to simple repo table; links to ADR 004
- docs/sites/active/README.md — GitHub section notes equal weighting with ADR 004 link
- docs/ARCHITECTURE.md — CHANGE_TEMPLATE linked from site governance section
- README.md — Contributing section links to both PROPOSAL_TEMPLATE and CHANGE_TEMPLATE

# Site Change Proposal: [Platform Name]
**Proposed by:** [username]
**Date:** [YYYY-MM-DD]
**Status:** Proposed
---
## What is changing?
Select the type of change:
- [ ] Weight adjustment
- [ ] Scope change — e.g. adding or removing specific repos, signals, or endpoints
- [ ] Full retirement — remove this site entirely
- [ ] Other modification
**Current state:**
[Describe what the site/repo currently looks like in `config.yaml` and `docs/sites/active/`.]
**Proposed state:**
[Describe exactly what you want it to look like after the change. If retiring, state that.]
---
## Why is this change being proposed?
[What has changed — in the community, the platform, or the signal quality — that makes
this change appropriate now? For retirements, select the primary reason:]
- [ ] Platform became inaccessible or paywalled (violates [ADR 003](../../decisions/003-public-data-only.md))
- [ ] Data quality degraded — signal no longer meaningful
- [ ] Gaming or manipulation detected
- [ ] Community migrated away — platform no longer actively used
- [ ] Platform shut down or became unstable
- [ ] Community voted to remove
- [ ] Other
---
## Evidence
[Data, observations, or discussion that supports the change. For a weight increase,
show increased activity or centrality. For a weight reduction or retirement, show reduced
relevance, activity, or a specific incident.]
---
## Impact
[Who or what is affected by this change? Does it reduce anyone's score meaningfully?
Is that the intended outcome, or a side effect?]
---
## If retiring: what happens to historical data?
[Describe what was done with any participation data already collected from this site.
Was it zeroed out? Kept for historical comparison? Archived separately?]
**Should this site ever be reconsidered?**
[Note any conditions under which this decision should be revisited — e.g. "reconsider
if the platform restores public access" or "permanent — gaming risk too high."]
---
## Was there disagreement?
[Note any dissenting views and how they were addressed. If the vote was close, record
the margin — future contributors deserve to know if this was contested.]
---
## Discussion
[Link to forum thread or other discussion, once opened.]
