This is based on feedback of the open source community: > Issues and pull requests are often created without any adherence to the > CONTRIBUTING.md contribution guidelines, due to the inconspicuous nature of > the “guidelines for contributing” link when creating an issue and the fact that > it often contains a lot of information that isn’t relevant to opening issues > (such as information about hacking on the project). Maintainers should be able > to configure a file in the repo (interpreted as GFM) to be displayed at the top > of the new issue / PR page instead of that link. Maintainers can choose to inline > content there and / or link to other pages as appropriate. cc @sytses @dzaporozhets
