Provide a penpot template for Godot UI mockup #7132

Describe the project you are working on

GodotEngine

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

Every time i need to make UI mockups I have a lot of boilerplate drawing to do in my mockup-program, and I'm wondering if this is a friction step with UI designers or any contributor making mockup UI.

why penpot? It's FOSS and I found it as a figma alternative. It's not necessary for it to be penpot but that's just what i use so that's what i propose.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Prividing a penpot/figma template would significantly lower the friction when making UI mockups for the editor. This would hopefully bring more people that have an idea for an editor feature to provide a detailed UI design and feature design.

I believe that some people may prefer in fact to start from a UI mockup and develop all their ideas in a more visual manner.

(Please abstain comments of "I prefer to write long text and i don't like drawing therefore this is false")

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

This is composed in multiple steps

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

/

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

Improving the proposal workflow to be more inclusive with more graphically minded people and generally lower the effort barrier to make mockups
