Summary:
Having a guide for contributors makes the experience more pleasant for
everyone. In the best case, contributors read the guide and submit
perfect PRs. In the event that a discrepancy occurs, we can gently point
the contributor to the guide—saving us from having to re-explain common
pitfalls, and signaling to the contributor that this is a matter of
practice and that we are not “out to get them”.
This guide, like all documentation, is intended to evolve over time.
Test Plan:
None.
