I'm starting work on this.

I've updated the branch protection rules.

@jaronoff97 can you add a .github/repository-settings.md file documenting these changes? Example here.

can you add a .github/repository-settings.md file documenting these changes? Example here.

currently documenting these changes is only asked of maintainers who have admin privilege on their repository (so they can make the changes themselves without opening a request here):

community/docs/how-to-configure-new-repository.md

Lines 43 to 47 in 15ea075

	If requested, `foo-maintainers` will be granted `Admin` permissions, and in return
	they must document any changes they make to the repository settings in a file named
	`.github/repository-settings.md` in their repository (other than temporarily
	disabling "Do not allow bypassing the above settings", see branch protection rules
	below).

we can definitely expand this, but I'd suggest seeing where #1596 goes first

Sounds good. Seems like its pretty roundabout to find the provenance of a repository setting change with the current setup. I would love an infrastructure as code solution.
