this should define our core infrastructure used across the packages, e.g.:

• requirements/environment files
• docs skeleton
• GHA recipes
• misc tooling shared across

• Since we are now treating libpysal as the default "default" submodule template this can probably be closed.
• However, do we want to deprecate and remove the submodule_template?

  • https://github.com/pysal/libpysal/issues/594
• Does this need a vote?

Let's pick it up next time but I would probably archive it if it is not meant to be used.
