Shall we move README.md to CONTRIBUTING.md then? -- Andrei

We should have both. The current README.md should explain what the repo is all about. Details on contributing should go in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Case in point, this occurred on IRC today:

[2015-01-20 21:25:09] [dgiagio] Where can I open an issue for druntime? It's GitHub repo doesn't support opening issues

There should probably be a link to Bugzilla in every repo's README.md. So many projects on GitHub use GitHub issues (including e.g. Rust) that some people might head directly there to file an issue.
