In Debian we have
https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide
I guess more official, cross-distro document that we all point upstream
authors to would be a nice idea as well.
It would be a great idea if there were principles that all
distributions could agree on and have a document codify that so that
all distributions can reference it to upstream.
