Modify the GitHub Pull Request template (to reflect Git for Windows)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Git for Windows accepts pull requests; Core Git does not. Therefore we
need to adjust the template (because it only matches core Git's
project management style, not ours).

Also: direct Git for Windows enhancements to their contributions page,
space out the text for easy reading, and clarify that the mailing list
is plain text, not HTML.
