:+1:
The **upside** to maintaining a [bonafide CONTRIBUTING policy
file](https://github.com/blog/1184-contributing-guidelines) here in the root of
the project tree, is that it becomes easily discoverable by folks who arrive at
`apache/couchdb` project on github to open issues and submit pull requests...
the policy is revealed thusly above both the "create new issue" and "create new
pull request" forms:
:-1:
The **downside** is dual-maintenance - keeping this `CONTRIBUTING.md`
policy file in sync with the same content in the
[`share/doc/src/contributing.rst`](https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/master/share/doc/src/contributing.rst)
file (plus whereever the source code contribution guidelines are?).
Unless someone knows of a clever way to reconcile that to NOT be
dual-maintenance.
