discourse/CONTRIBUTING.md
Erlend Sogge Heggen c3a5ddac8c Repurposing CONTRIBUTING.md into a link portal, 2nd attempt
- Slight changes to the CLA paragraph, making it slightly easier to digest.
- Added brief synopsis of the Discourse Development Contribution Guidelines doc
- Replaced Bug Report, Feature Request and Contributing (commits) section with outgoing links

The aim of this change is to reduce the maintenance burden, since more detailed information about contribution guidelines is more naturally documented and maintained on Discourse Meta.
