Add terms to OpenSSF glossaryΒ #52

Description

@di

In #51 (comment), we struggled a bit with aligning terminology across ecosystems, and disambiguating certain terms.

The WG should publish a glossary at https://repos.openssf.org/glossary contribute to https://glossary.openssf.org/ to define our preferred terms for various concepts, as well as "a mega synonym table mapping concept across ecosystem" (per @joelverhagen). We should also update currently published models/guides to align around these terms.

Some examples, loosely grouped & not exhaustive, that should be included:

  • package / project / release / version / artifact / module / distribution / binary / file
  • package repository / package index / package manager / installer / uploader / publisher
  • maintainer / owner / consumer / user / admin
  • yank / soft delete / delete
  • upload / publish
