> Github automatically picks up the file CONTRIBUTING.md if it is in the root
> of the repository and adds a notice for those making pull requests. See
> https://help.github.com/articles/setting-guidelines-for-repository-contributors/
> This should reduce the number of times that Thrift developers have to
> manually post links to the contributing guidelines on Github pull requests.
