Muir Glacier upgrade postmortem.

When opening a pull request to submit a new EIP, please use the suggested template: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/eip-template.md

We have a GitHub bot that automatically merges some PRs. It will merge yours immediately if certain criteria are met:

  • The PR edits only existing draft PRs.
  • The build passes.
  • Your GitHub username or email address is listed in the 'author' header of all affected PRs, inside .
  • If matching on email address, the email address is the one publicly listed on your GitHub profile.

I don't think the EIP repository is the proper place for this sort of document. IMO, nothing about Ethereum mainnet operations should be included here, including the hardfore meta EIPs. I know there are mixed feelings on this topic in general, but I feel like a post mortem pretty substantially crosses the line of "not a standard".

The description of an Informational EIP suggests it to be a placeholder for general guidelines or information to the Ethereum community even if it does not propose a new feature.
"Informational EIPs do not necessarily represent Ethereum community consensus or a recommendation, so users and implementers are free to ignore Informational EIPs or follow their advice."

This PR is created to add an Informational EIP to store the Muir Glacier upgrade postmortem report based on a decision item coming from the EIPIP meeting
Decision 6.2.1: Store history or the process of an upgrade in an Informational EIP that is a post-mortem on hardfork.

It does appear that in an EIPIP meeting it was decided to include it, so I won't use this PR to fight against that ruling, but I will leave it to someone else to actually merge this as it leaves a sour taste in my mouth as massive scope creep for the EIPs repository. I really don't think that this repository should be a generalized place to document Ethereum going ons.

Also, I'm not sure how you are going to get through CI with this since we don't have a mechanism for overriding CI at the moment (at least, I don't).

I believe either an email address or GitHub handle is required @lightclient, not just names.

"Theoretically" EIP-1 allows for only names in the author field. Not saying that's good though!

TIL that handle/email is not required. 😄 Keep in mind, without that the bot will never auto-merge.

@lightclient @MicahZoltu I've incorporated suggested changes yet 'All checks have failed', what am I missing?
Due to ongoing discussion of where this informational EIP should be stored, I understand it can't be merged just yet, but wondering about the correct format to be able to move beyond the bot check.

Adding suggested changes by reviewers 
* Rename file
* Author name format
* Added sections
 - Test cases
 - Implementations
 - Security considerations

I believe the issue is that the bot demands that all EIPs follow the EIP naming convention, which is eip-####.md.

If you change the file name to eip-2809.md 'nd also put that as the EIP number in the header I think the checks will pass.

I tried renaming the file even in lower case but it looks like something else is missing.
