explainers-by-googlers LICENSE vs. WICG LICENSE.md

I created an explainer using this template (WICG/translation-api@380e443). It contained the CC-BY-4.0 LICENSE file

As part of moving to WICG, in WICG/translation-api@543bb11 @cwilso added a LICENSE.md explaining that the W3C Software and Document License applies.

Now I have two licenses. I'm going to delete LICENSE. But, it would be good if we avoided this situation in the future.

Maybe one easy way of doing that would be to change our LICENSE to a LICENSE.md, so that the conflict is easily detected.

Add an issue template for developers to support advancing a feature

To advance a feature to the next stage of the standards process, we need developers to endorse the feature. It'd be nice to give them guidance about how to do that effectively, especially to explain how their users benefit from the feature. It sounds like issues in the repository are an effective way to let arbitrary developers express support, and issue templates are good ways to guide people to write useful issues. So let's add one here that'll get picked up by future explainer repos.

Would be good to have an explicit Security/Privacy section

During review a lot of security related questions came up which were already answered in the explainer. Security also requested a Security and Privacy considerations section. Would it make sense to add it for clarity?
