The README is long and doesn't immediately indicate that there is a procedure to follow for pull requests. Moving it out to CONTRIBUTING (where most projects put "how to contribute" information) makes it easier to find. Github also puts up a banner when making pull requests when there is a contributing file that hasn't been read.

I also updated the coding style link and added the blurb about "pull requests are okay however please email rt@" which was missing from the section.

Hmmm, I understand your though, but I think that it should either be

See CONTRIBUTING

or we should move CONTRIBUTING somewhere completely different, such as wiki.openssl.org.

For now, I would prefer the former.
