I can see the  sense in including ".dir-locals.el" but e.g. ".github"
and ".travis.yml" only makes sense in relation to proprietary software,
so I think arguably they are harmful.

I think other than that, I have no objection to what you write but we
should probably document that criteria somewhere.
