Hi, Should we consider adding a CONTRIBUTING(.md) file to the solr git repo?
Currently we have our wiki page https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SOLR/HowToContribute which is linked from README.md. But there has been complaints lately that this wiki page is old and needlessly complex / long. Some benefits of a CONTRIBUTING file are: * People immediately understand what to expect when they see the file (visibility) * GitHub has built-in support for it and will display a link when someone opens a PR (https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/setting-guidelines-for-repository-contributors) * We can author it from scratch, with better, clearer structure The file can of course rely on linking to dev-docs, wiki and website as needed, so the file can likely stay quite compact.
