As discussed in the comments, we'd like to make the following additions to this guide over time (not in this PR):
Build Instructions: Since the build process is not detailed here, consider providing a brief overview or common pitfalls users might encounter. This could reduce the number of questions on your Discord server.
Review Process: Clarify the expected timeline for reviews and what contributors should do if they don't receive feedback within a certain period.
Common Issues: Consider adding a FAQ or common troubleshooting section for issues that new contributors frequently encounter.
