Do we need a CONTRIBUTING.md at the org-wide level? #3

So, for background - there is a cool org feature in github where we can set files in a special repository called konflux-ci/.github and those files will be applied across all repos in the org.

One super good use of this is the SECURITY.md file, which appears in a little tab when you're looking at our individual repos, like this:

We can potentially also add an org-wide CONTRIBUTING.md file.

The question is, do we want to? What would we put there?

I think CONTRIBUTING.md files are useful for individual repos. Is it helpful to "standardize" that across repos?

If we set an org-wide one, and a repository contains its own - how are those handled? Does the repo-level one just take precedence? Does the org-level one take precedence? Are they somehow merged?
