Hi Isabel, Since sustainable development is very much in Apache's interest as a foundation, I believe this is an excellent idea.
My first thoughts on where this could go: 1.) This belongs somewhere under https://community.apache.org 2.) It should come "early" in the intro to open source development. So maybe here: https://community.apache.org/newcomers/ ? 3.) It's important enough to link to from the first community page, maybe under or with the code of conduct? But I'm still fairly new to comdev. Who else has an opinion about where this belongs?
