CONTRIBUTING.md is one of several community health files GitHub looks for when scoring a repository community profile. Sibling files include README.md, LICENSE, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, SECURITY.md, SUPPORT.md, and issue and pull request templates. Together these conventions establish a well-formed, welcoming open source project that lowers the barrier for new contributors.
