Since it's not part of "main development", and it's related to a GitHub feature, I figured it should go in
.github. Like.github/dependabot.ymland.github/workflows/*, not really your project, but configuration for the host of your project. Also, if your project was mirrored between GitHub and GitLab, I could imagine a.gitlab/wikiand a.github/wiki, since, as competitors, there's not guarantee they'd share the same wiki repository structure.This was also partially inspired by the repository settings app. Specifically, the part where you place file(s) in
.github/that allow outside contributors to contribute to and change parts otherwise inaccessible to non-maintainers.
