Scorecard and Allstar have moved to the ORBIT WG. This PR removes the projects from the best practices projects list.

Thanks for keeping the readme up-to-date.

Before removing Scorecard and Allstar from the listing here, should we ensure that they are properly listed in their new home? I don't want to just remove the reference to the projects without replacement, but I couldn't find them listed in the readme of the ORBIT WG - but I may have just failed to find the right place.

We could instead - in the meantime - add a note to our readme that both projects have moved to ORBIT.

I am generally unaware of the move, but I haven't been good at attending meetings beyond the Scorecard specific ones. Where was this discussed?

+1. I am aware of the alignment proposal, but this move was neither discussed nor agreed to by @ossf/scorecard-maintainers with either the Best Practices or ORBIT WG leads.

To be clear, I'm not saying that it is not the correct path forward, but to the best of my knowledge it was not discussed with us.

Hi @spencerschrock, @justaugustus,

I cannot speak for @balteravishay, but I suspect that he had the same impression as I, in the sense that I assumed this was kind of discussed and agreed between Scorecard and ORBIT. It was indeed not discussed with the Best Practices WG - at least not to my knowledge - but then again I personally don't want to force initiatives to stay in their existing homes, of course. If you like, we'd welcome discussing this briefly at the next Best Practices WG call (next Tuesday) - or asynchronously.

sorry for the late reply.
This was asked in the last Best Practices WG call, where we asked if the decision was made, and received confirmation from @david-a-wheeler.
Perhaps my understanding of the decision scope was wrong, though.
Hopefully we can get an answer from David.

Thanks for the context. I was not able to attend the last call - hence my lack of awareness of the discussion... and the resulting confusion here. Sorry for that.

Nevertheless, I think that the folks running the project should obviously be part of the decision process and be ok with the decision. Based on the comments above, we should make sure that everyone was properly heard.

I fear that everyone assumed everyone had already talked.

My memory is imperfect, but I don't remember a formal "decision", I presumed that the people involved had agreed to it. If people haven't agreed to it, I suggest status quo until there's a discussion and agreement.

Thanks for the discussion. We have a Best WG call later today (3pm UTC) in which we can discuss this with the Scorecard project, if @spencerschrock and/or @justaugustus are available.
