Should this file mention https://www.mongodb.com/contributor? Our team’s CONTRIBUTING.md files do.

@addaleax I'm happy to add it. Can you point me to a repo that has it as an example?

From a convo on slack: Contributor agreements are not necessary for anything Apache 2 licensed (that's how all drivers are licensed). They are only needed for contributing to things we dual license, like the server. So we can leave that out of our guide.
