Hi @deepsm007. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a github.com member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

I'm not really sure there is such thing as a "standard" Go project layout. ;)

Some indentation issues where the comments don't line up. Small thing that's probably fine to leave, but if you do an update it would be good to align them.

This kind of content always worries me to be included in docs since it's easy for things to get out of sync. But I think this is good with just the top level areas.


#### Core Components

**Webhook and Event Handling:**

These are getting into the level of detail that gives me a little more concern about getting out of sync. But I do think this is some useful detail, so maybe worth it.


### What programming language is Prow written in?

Primarily Go (94.7%), with some TypeScript (2.5%) for the Deck frontend.

I do not think we need percentages of languages included in docs. Especially since GitHub gives this data automatically.


**Deliverable**: Your first merged PR!

I think the scope of this may be getting a little too large for this repo.
