Rollup merge of rust-lang#77195 - follower:patch-2, r=jyn514
Link to documentation-specific guidelines. Changed contribution information URL because it's not obvious how to get from the current URL to the documentation-specific content. The current URL points to this "Getting Started" page, which contains nothing specific about documentation[*] and instead launches into how to *build* `rustc` which is not a strict prerequisite for contributing documentation fixes: * https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html [*] The most specific content is a "Writing documentation" bullet point which is not itself a link to anything (I guess a patch for that might be helpful too). ### Why? Making this change will make it easier for people who wish to make small "drive by" documentation fixes (and read contribution guidelines ;) ) which I find are often how I start contributing to a project. (Exhibit A: rust-lang#77050 :) ) ### Background My impression is the change of content linked is an unintentional change due to a couple of other changes: * Originally, the link pointed to `contributing.md` which started with a "table of contents" linking to each section. But the content in `contributing.md` was removed and replaced with a link to the "Getting Started" section here: * rust-lang@3f6928f#diff-6a3371457528722a734f3c51d9238c13L1 But the changed link doesn't actually point to the equivalent content, which is now located here: * https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/contributing.html (If the "Guide to Rustc Development" is now considered the canonical location of "How to Contribute" content it might be a good idea to merge some of the "Contributing" Introduction section into the "Getting Started" section.) * This was then compounded by changing the link from `contributing.md` to `contributing.html` here: * https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74037/files#diff-242481015141f373dcb178e93cffa850L88 In order to even find the new location of the previous `contributing.md` content I ended up needing to do a GitHub search of the `rust-lang` org for the phrase "Documentation improvements are very welcome". :D
