Contributors will henceforth be asked to include a `RELEASE.md` file
containing the release type and summary of changes, which will be used
by the continuous integration (CI) system to automatically publish a new
release to PyPI when the pull request is merged.

Many folks ask for help (via IRC or filing GitHub issues) without
sufficient detail and/or without first determining if the answers to
their questions might be better sourced elsewhere. These
documentation changes encourage users to follow certain guidelines
when reaching out for help.
GitHub recently added a feature that looks for a CONTRIBUTING file in
repo root and displays it whenever a user creates an issue or submits a
pull request. I took this opportunity to put some contribution
submission guidelines into that file, including it dynamically inside
our existing docs/contribute.rst file to eliminate unnecessary
redundancy.
