SAMZA-1030; Add documentation for change in the contribution process

I re-organized some of the website files and created a "Contributor's Corner" 
that collates all info related to new contributors and committers

Also, updated the merge script with constants to match from the website 
documentation.

+Apache Samza is developed by an open and friendly community. Everybody is 
welcome to contribute and engage with the community. We are happy to accept 
contributions, be it trivial cleanups or bug-fix or new features. There are 
many ways to engage with the community and contribute to Apache Samza, 
including filing bugs, asking questions and joining discussions in our mailing 
lists, contributing code or documentation, or testing.
+
+## Ask Questions
+Apache Samza community is happy to answer any questions related to the 
project. We use our [mailing list](/community/mailing-lists.html) for all 
communications and discussions. You can also interact in StackOverflow under 
the tag - 
[#apache-samza](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/apache-samza)
+
+## File Bug Reports
+Apache Samza uses [JIRA](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA) to file 
bug reports. In order to file a bug report, please open Samza JIRA and include 
the following details:
+
+* A descriptive title
+* Description of the issue you are facing
+* Version of Apache Samza in which this issue is seen - You can add the 
version(s) by updating "Affects Version/s" field in the JIRA
+* Environment details (such as OS, JDK version etc) whenever applicable
+ 
+If you need someone to immediately take a look at your JIRA, please don't 
hesitate to send an email to the dev mailing list.
+
+## Find A Project to Work On
+
+We tag bugs in [JIRA](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA) with 
"[newbie](https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20SAMZA%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20newbie%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Open)"
 label that are good for people getting started with the code base. When you 
feel confident, you can pick-up 
"[newbie++](https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20SAMZA%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20%22newbie%2B%2B%22%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Open)"
 JIRAs. Picking up these JIRAs are the best way to familiarize yourself with 
the codebase.

+More meaty projects are

 The process for working on a large project is:
+
+1. Instigate a discussion on the 
[JIRA](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA)
+2. Write a [design document](design-documents.html)
+3. Request feedback for the [design document](design-documents.html) on the 
Jira and the samza-dev mailing list
+4. Come to an agreement on design
+5. Implement design
+
+*If you are unclear whether a change you are proposing requires a design 
document, feel free ask us through our mailing list!*
+
+## Contributing to Apache Samza
+
+Samza's code is in an Apache Git repository located 
[here](https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=samza.git;a=tree).
+
+You can check out Samza's code by running:
+
+```
+git clone http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/samza.git
+```
+
+The Samza website is built by Jekyll from the markdown files found in the 
`docs` subdirectory.
+
+We use Pull Requests to review and discuss your contributions. In order to 
contribute code, please do the following:
+
+* If you are working on a big new feature, follow the steps outlined above 
regarding [design documents](/contribute/design-documents.html) page
+* If there is no JIRA for your work, please open a 
[JIRA](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA) before creating a Pull 
Request. If it is a trivial fix (such as typo, doc fix etc), you may skip the 
JIRA creation.
+* Creating Pull Request
+    1. Fork the Github repository at 
[http://github.com/apache/samza](http://github.com/apache/samza) if you haven't 
already 
+    2. Create a new branch in your repository and push your changes to that 
branch
+        * Make sure you have observed the recommendations in the [coding 
guide](/contribute/coding-guide.html) and [testing](/contribute/tests.html)
+    3. [Open a Pull 
Request](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/) against the 
"master" branch of apache/samza
+        * Make sure that the Pull Request title is of the format 
"SAMZA-&lt;JiraNumber&gt; : &lt;JiraTitle&gt;"
+        * Make sure that your patch cleanly applies against the master branch. 
If not, rebase before creating the Pull Request
+    4. Change the status of the JIRA to "Patch Available" so that it notifies 
the committers of the patch being available
+* Nag us if we don't follow up on your JIRA in a timely fashion.
+* If your Pull Request is approved, it will automatically be closed, with any 
associated JIRA when a committer merges your changes. 
+* If your Pull Request is not approved and requires changes based on reviews, 
please make changes to your patch. 
+    * While making the changes, kindly update the JIRA status from "Patch 
Available" to "In Progress". 
+    * Make sure that you have rebased your branch to latest in the master 
branch before updating the Pull Request. This will help avoid conflicts during 
the merge. We cannot commit patches that have merge conflicts!
+* If your Pull Request is rejected for whatever reason, please close it 
promptly because committers cannot close your Pull Requests!  
+
+## For Committers
+
+If you are a committer you need to use https instead of http to check in, 
otherwise you will get an error regarding an inability to acquire a lock. Note 
that older versions of git may also give this error even when the repo was 
cloned with https; if you experience this try a newer version of git. 
+
+### Prepare to merge a Pull Request (PR) by setting up the following:
+
+1. Setup JIRA on your host
+    * Install Jira packages - ```sudo pip install jira```
+    * Set the `JIRA_USERNAME` and `JIRA_PASSWORD` environment variables with 
the appropriate credentials for interacting with Jira. This is required to 
correctly close the JIRA associated with the PR
+2. Setup aliases for the remote repositories:​(Samza Github repo and Apache 
Samza Repo)
+    * Add ASF git repo for committing the PR
+    ```git remote add samza-apache 
https://git­wip­us.apache.org/repos/asf/samza.git``` 
+    * Add Github repo for fetching the patch from the PR
+    ```git remote add samza-github https://github.com/apache/samza.git```
+3. Set up API tokens for Git
+    * Create an OAuth key for making requests to the GitHub API. If this is 
not defined, then requests will be unauthenticated and you can't access the 
API. An OAuth key for the API can be created at 
[https://github.com/settings/tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens)        
+    * Set the created OAuth key as `GITHUB_OAUTH_KEY` environment variable.
+
+### Merging a Pull Request
+
+* Committers can use the `bin/merge-pull-request.py` script to merge an 
approved PR. The script is interactive and will walk you through the steps for 
merging the patch, closing the PR and the associated JIRA.
+```
+cd samza
+./bin/merge-pull-request.py 
+```
+* Whenever possible, make sure that the commit title includes the JIRA number 
and title.
+* Merging changes that don't cleanly apply on the master should be avoided.  
+* For committers wishing to update the webpage, please see `docs/README.md` 
for instructions.
