[rpat] Author request to use sourcecode with type set to "yaml"

[Rebecca VanRheenen <[e-mail]>]

Greetings RPAT,

Please see the request below to add “yaml” to the list of preferred values for sourcecode type (https://www.rfc-editor.org/materials/sourcecode-types.txt). See Sections 1.2.1, 3.4, 4.2, and Appendix A of RFC-to-be 9512 (draft-ietf-httpapi-yaml-mediatypes-10).

In your opinion, is this an acceptable addition?
