A big +1 for this. A README in the root of repo will go a far way i think.
Some links for it that could be relevant (at least on the GeoServer side):
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/policies/patches.html (even
has a section on pull requests)
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/policies/comitting.html
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/source.html
What else do we want to include? Happy to help write the README once we
figure out what we want to convey.
