<p dir="auto">We've got a lot of open PRs. In recent months there's been a few things I've noticed that make PRs harder to review. I think it's worth expanding the guidance in CONTRIBUTING.md, to document things that contributors can do to help.</p>
<p dir="auto">I've also changed some of the phrasing of the existing guidance, since we don't tend to use the terms 'hacking' or 'patches'. In all honesty I can't remember the last time anyone wanted to send a <code class="notranslate">git format-patch</code> style email to the mailing list, so I've removed that paragraph too.</p>
