Question
Where does contribution guidance canonically live?
Options to weigh:
- Repo-root
CONTRIBUTING.md as canonical, with the published how-to-contribute page pointing at it
- Published how-to-contribute page as canonical (contributors live on the site), repo keeps a thin pointer
- Full duplication (rejected smell, but record why if chosen)
Resolution covers DCO mechanics, conventional-commit expectations, the SUMMARY rule, and where an external contributor actually lands first (GitHub vs docs site).
