Add contribution guidelines to the repo so that people have a clear path to contributing to the project. Here is an example, but specify the rules that make sense to you. The github help article on Contributing Guidelines may also be of help.

We should also have a contributor agreement (CLA)

I'll create a separate ticket for CLA as it deserves some discussion

I'd like for the Contributing guidelines to state that even "Owners" of the project should follow the contribution guidelines, namely NOT committing directly to master unless there's a good reason for doing so. All contributions to the project should be peer reviewed by at least one other person, and this is the best way to ensure that happens.

Am I correct to assume all submitted code should be MIT licensed?
