we originally (in #753) moved it over directly from CONTRIBUTING.md in rust-lang/rust. i think that was a good call -- we can now hyperlink other parts of the guide -- but it means that it's kind of isolated from other chapters, and duplicates or mixes lots of different concepts in one place.
i'd like to sort through it and see if we can move things to a dedicated chapter, either existing or new chapters, and then delete the "contributing.md" page altogether except for backlinks.
