feat: pull request policy shared by every repository - #7

Conversation
Two rules enforced by a reusable workflow, called from each repository through pull_request_target so it runs the base branch's copy with write access: - Open-PR cap. An author keeps at most three open pull requests per repository. The oldest three stay; a newer one is closed on opening or reopening with a comment naming the ones that stay. Ranking by number (not a plain count) keeps a burst of simultaneous openings from closing all of them. - Review-request gate. A review request to a maintainer is removed until the author has reviewed their own pull request (one review of any state) and the description has no unchecked box. One comment per PR, updated in place. Exempt logins and the gated maintainer list are inputs with org defaults. Also a workflow template for the caller and a CONTRIBUTING section (en, ko).

What this changes
Adds a reusable pull request policy workflow, its caller template, and the matching CONTRIBUTING section (en, ko).
Why
One member has opened 428 pull requests across the org in 30 days with 184 review requests to the maintainer. GitHub has no native control for either (interaction limits do not apply to members; there is no "self-review first" rule), so a workflow enforces both:
its-janghoonis removed until the author has reviewed their own pull request and ticked every box in the description.its-janghoonanddependabot[bot]are exempt. Each repository gets a 14-line caller (follow-up PRs).How it was verified
YAML parsed with PyYAML; the run script extracted and passed
bash -nandshellcheck.Dry run against the live
redrob-labs/redrob-code(writes stubbed): with 4 open PRs by the author, #75/#76/#77 are kept and #78 would be closed; exempt author short-circuits; a request to a non-gated reviewer or a team is ignored; #78 with 0 self-reviews would have its request toits-janghoonremoved.Not exercised: the real
pull_request_targetrun, which needs this file onmainfirst. The first caller PR in a product repository is the live test.The repository's own gates pass locally
