More repos need to do this. If it's not too big it can be stuck in development.md which is where I usually stick it.

It makes it so much more likely that I'll contribute with a proper PR. There's some codebases I would have liked to contribute to but they were so complicated and with so few comments I just gave up and only reported the bug / made a feature request. Even worse when they have complicated undocumented build systems.
