GitHub auto-links #N only in issue/PR comments and commit messages, not
in rendered markdown files - so all 26 precedent references in
CONTRIBUTING.md ((#30), (#55, #56), ...) render as plain text, and the
reader can't jump to the precedent being cited.
Converted every bare #N to a reference-style link ([#N] in prose, URL
definitions collected at the bottom of the file). Definitions use the
/issues/N form, which GitHub redirects to /pull/N when the number is a
PR, so each link resolves correctly whether it points at an issue or a
pull request. No prose changed; existing inline links (the Discussions
URLs) untouched.
Co-authored-by for incorporated code; named commit/PR mention for
independently written fixes derived from reports. Prompted by the
question in #66.

Codifies what has so far lived in PR closing comments: the universal-
template rule, merge/decline criteria with precedent links, the
feature-complete command bar, the empirical-verification standard,
and the fork path via /add-portal and the community forks discussion.
GitHub auto-surfaces CONTRIBUTING.md on new PRs and issues; README
gets a one-line pointer for browsers.
