OOC, how did you find gdb/CONTRIBUTE?  Was that through
https://sourceware.org/gdb/contribute/ or some other means?

IMO we should just move/merge the gross of the contents in the
file to the web/wiki, and either delete the file, or leave just
the preamble.

If it stays, I think it should link to:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/contribute/

as that's more stable than the wiki, and then that page should
link to relevant wiki pages.

Thanks,
Pedro Alves
