[Incubator] adding pygeometa as a Community project

[Regina Obe]

I created a placeholder for the issue template just to confirm it works:

https://gitea.osgeo.org/osgeo/projects-support/src/branch/main/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md

I think we should be able to fill in any mark down in there like checkoff lists.
So this gets used as a template for new issues.
