Bikeshedding in champion name formatting aside, I think this is in a good state to merge & iterate on.

This proposal is drafted by the team at 1Password. Our [extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/1password-%E2%80%93-password-mana/aeblfdkhhhdcdjpifhhbdiojplfjncoa?hl=en) is available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge and has more than 2M weekly active users in the Chrome Web Store alone. We would be quick to implement this in conjunction with or in place of our current Native Messaging solution. | ||

The Dashlane browser extension, also a password manager with over 4M weekly active users in the Chrome Web Store, currently provides a remember me and biometric authentication feature in its extension to make repeated authentication easier. They would also be very quick to implement this in place of their solution which requires a network connection, as they don’t leverage a native application to interface with native storage. |

Do we have a public comment of someone from Dashlane supporting this proposal? If not, perhaps better to leave this for a later PR they could submit.

@bradcush reached out out-of-band and shared this quote which he was happy for us to use in the proposal. I'm fairly sure he's happy with it being included here but I'll ask if he can drop an approval so we have everything documented in one place.

This quote is good for us, confirming here publicly on behalf of Dashlane, thanks!
This adds the proposal from #154 to a new proposals/ folder in the repository. As discussed at the end of the last meeting, my hope is that this makes it easier to collaborate on the proposal while also providing us with a commit history and issue tracker that we can use while moving this forward as a community.
For now, this is very close to a direct port from the shared document. I plan to start making more changes in future PRs.
