Suggested clean-ups for https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTORS.rst here

add link to creating a good ticket (but do not explain inline - how/why)
reduce the perceived importance of the towncrier stuff
suggestion of how to deal with new contributors:
They should communicate their intention to us first
Encourage ppl to sign no backdoorsl.rst
Talk about the issue before you put work into it - transfer of organizational knowledge
New code must have appropriate tests written for it

Also, we should have only one contributor doc

There also exists .github/CONTRIBUTING.rst
