Contributing.md can be shown when opening PR via GitHub UI. While we are using tools (git-webkit) to create PR with specific format, it is not easily obvious to new contributors. Let's add Contributing.md mentioning to 1. The way to create PR through git-webkit (and introducing https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/wiki/Contributing link) 2. Not creating a PR though GitHub UI in a normal way (just creating a branch and PR)

Additionally, I think it’s better to add a PR template like https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md I guess strongly some people will not read CONTRIBUTING.md because it’s shown as a link. But PR template fills the form to create PR.

PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE sounds good. We should offer the best way for contributors to access to the expected procedure so that we will not waste contributors' time and their patches!
