We created the @nodejs/doc-kit team on GitHub so contributors to nodejs/doc-kit can be onboarded without handing them the whole Web Team surface, and the docs here never caught up. This PR documents it:

  • PERMISSIONS.md: new @nodejs/doc-kit column. The only non-empty cell is Maintain on nodejs/doc-kit, everything else, including every external service, is -
  • GOVERNANCE.md: new section covering the team, its scope, and its nomination process, which mirrors @nodejs/web-infra
  • MEMBERS.md: new section, seeded with the current members of the GitHub team
  • onboarding/doc-kit.md: onboarding checklist, deliberately much shorter than web-infra's
  • README.md: two subteams becomes three

The scope is intentionally narrow: Maintain on nodejs/doc-kit and nothing else. No publishing access for now, so no 1Password vault, no Vercel, no npm scope ownership, those stay with @nodejs/web-infra. Releases still go out through the repo's automated workflow via npm trusted publishing, so this doesn't block anyone from cutting one.

Heads up that touching GOVERNANCE.md pulls in @nodejs/tsc via CODEOWNERS. Happy to split that file into its own PR if y'all would rather land the rest first.

This is only for web-infra, right?

Everyone should be doing these things, they improve our security posture.

I think web-infra must do these things?

Agree, I think we could leave as is, but also fine either removing or copy pasting this to the other team-specific recommendations.

The Node.js Doc Kit Team is responsible for the day-to-day technical development of [nodejs/doc-kit](https://github.com/nodejs/doc-kit), the tooling that generates the Node.js API documentation. This covers adding features, reviewing and landing pull requests, fixing bugs and security issues, and the general maintenance of the repository.

The scope of this team is limited to the [nodejs/doc-kit](https://github.com/nodejs/doc-kit) repository. Members hold `Maintain` on that repository, which grants write access and the ability to manage repository settings, but **not** publishing access: ownership of the npm scopes the project publishes under, and of the Vercel project that serves [doc-kit.nodejs.org](https://doc-kit.nodejs.org/), remains with @nodejs/web-infra. Members of this team may still cut releases through the repository's automated release workflow, which publishes via npm trusted publishing.
