Clarify pull request stance in Readme

[af]

Hi,

Now that Github is the primary repo for tmux, my initial assumption was that pull requests would be the preferred way to submit patches. Since it is not, it would be nice to mention this in the readme.

Even though the Readme does explicitly say "Patches should be sent by email to
the mailing list at tmux-users@googlegroups.com.", I can't be the only person that would assume PRs would also be welcome. If you don't want to receive them, a mention of this in the Readme would probably save you some time.

Also an idea: github has a nice feature where "guidelines for contributing" will be visibly prompted to a user before he/she opens a new issue or pull request as described in this blog post.

All that's needed it to create a CONTRIBUTING file in the project root. This could probably filter out some percentage of impulsive issue or PR openings and reduce the maintenance burden on the maintainers.

Let's see what happens before jumping to add to the documentation.

And no more documentation files, we have too many already. README or not at all.

Checkout https://github.com/golang/go which doesn't not accept Pull Requests. They have a CONTRIBUTING.md and don't use Pull Requests at all.

Another option - just edit project description. Check git/git for example
