From b75a219904955090aedc29bf9ea2df942edabdf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emily Shaffer Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2020 14:11:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] docs: mention MyFirstContribution in more places While the MyFirstContribution guide exists and has received some use and positive reviews, it is still not as discoverable as it could be. Add a reference to it from the GitHub pull request template, where many brand-new contributors may look. Also add a reference to it in SubmittingPatches, which is the central source of guidance for patch contribution.
