Boilerplate encouragement #81

Open hyandell opened 1 year ago

This is more pain than improvement idea.

How can we automate encouraging folks READMEs to start by explaining what their project is? You used to have to read to paragraph 6 of struts.apache.org to see what struts was, but now it has a lovely boilerplate paragraph. And their readme is similar ( https://github.com/apache/struts ).

An action that looks at the first paragraph of a README and complains if the repository's Name is not present?
