Add CONTRIBUTE file

Adding a contribute file helps detail the specifics about how a project’s maintainer would like to see patches or features contributed. This can include what tests to write, code syntax style or areas to focus on for patches.

is there a way to scrape the github graphs for this?

[abhisekp]

Scrap the github graphs? Why? Did you intend to make something like this https://waffle.io/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp/metrics/throughput ?

This should be a simple markdown file that gives a guideline about contributing to the project which should include the environment setup, source code formatting styles, linting preference, etc.

oh i thought you meant like a who's who for status? like: https://github.com/dcsan/gitterbot/graphs/contributors

but yeah a contrib guidelines, sure, feel free to write one.
