Update Everything Starts with a Merge Request and Issues section of Communication

Taurie Davis requested to merge tauriedavis-master-patch-27824 into master

Why is this change being made?

This MR proposes changing our language from "Everything starts with a merge request" to "Start with a merge request". This is because there are valid use cases for not starting with a merge request, which are now listed under the "Issues" section. This MR maintains the goal of starting with an MR when it makes sense, and that proposals that change code should start with an MR.
