I guess @VineethReddy02 created this issue for #1832 but since the README already mentions the contributor guide, is it overkill to have a CONTRIBUTING.md for this repo? This would just create an extra file with a link.

/cc @guineveresaenger @castrojo

I think creating a link is the way to go, if we kept stuff in contributing.md then that'd be one more file we'd have to check when fixing something.

@VineethReddy02 would you like to put a help wanted label on this and see if we can get a contributor to do what @castrojo is suggesting? Or do you have a different direction in mind?
