I propose that we add a POLICY document to structure how files should look and standardize conventions for version numbers.

Example Proposal: Standardize Unofficial Version Numbers

Some apps use unofficial version numbers when stable release formats cannot be applied. For example, the Nightly releases of RetroArch currently use a plain date format (YYYY-MM-DD) because the official version number cannot be added to them (e.g, 1.22.2):

The versionExtractionRegEx\":\"\\\\d{4}-\\\\d{2}-\\\\d{2}\" in these configuration files handles this format:

Proposed Rule

Unofficial version numbers should be enclosed in square brackets. Under this policy, plain dates like YYYY-MM-DD would be formatted as [YYYY-MM-DD] (e.g., for RetroArch Nightly builds).
