Adds Bitcoin Improvement Proposals to the public project directory with a concise overview of the BIP process, the BIP 3 process refresh, and OpenSats support for Jon Atack's BIP review and maintenance work. I left totalSatsSent unset because the project page does not map cleanly to a single public payout stream.

  • adds a new /projects/bips MDX page
  • adds a lightweight project cover asset
  • links to the canonical BIPs repository, bips.dev, BIP 3, and the Jon Atack LTS announcement

Build preview:

Fixes OpenSats/content#297

Review, particularly of technical soundness and completeness, is the most time-consuming (and critical) aspect.

It has become a larger part of the BIP maintainership process, as we receive more and more LLM-generated submissions that are now trivial for authors to make but don't always make technical or conceptual sense and that (too often) skip the required mail list discussion step.

Also, moderation is an (annoying) aspect that can at times be time-consuming.

Scope discussions can also be long. The Ordinals BIP draft, for instance.

In summary, the role is called Editor, but in reality is maintainership, technical review, editor, scope and soundness guardian, and moderator.

Approach ACK ❤️ I suppose adding it to the Projects page list would be in a follow-up PR.

Maybe we can use something like this for the icon instead?
