The README should provide a reasonable first step in the process of submitting a SIP, such as suggesting starting by posting a new issue here with an initial proposal for the SIP.

SIP 000 provides an high-level overview of the SIP process but not a practical first step. The SIPS README in the sips directory suggests that New SIPs may be submitted via pull request. Having to submit a pull request as a first step sets the bar high for engaging with the SIP process, which @GinaAbrams argues in issue #73 already has a high barrier to entry for folks that don't use GitHub day in and day out.

Posting a brief proposal for a new SIP in the issue tracker will lower the barrier to entry and open for further onboarding and hand-holding (if required).
