Hi folks!

Right now we have contributor guidelines in a couple of places:

* source tree as CONTRIBUTING.md and DEVNOTES, visible on GitHub
* confluence on a HOW TO CONTRIBUTE and Developer Section pages, linked from 
the website

We also have a few different ways of accepting contributions

* JIRA patches - review on JIRA or review in review board
* GitHub PRs

It looks like only the JIRA/reviewboard workflow is covered in our contribution 
guide, but the GitHub PR route has come to dominate.

I’d like to update our contribution guides to give new folks a clear single 
path to on ramp.

What do folks think about taking a GitHub centric approach?

Given our current community activity levels, IMHO minimizing friction from the 
audience of folks who have a GitHub account gives us the easiest path to casual 
contributions.

To start I’d suggest:

- remove review board use
- suggest all changes as PRs
- consolidate our project guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.md and DEVNOTES
