Description

It would be nice to link to the "Contributing to Apache Arrow" Confluence page(*EDIT) in the Sphinx docs directly from the main project README (in the already existing "Getting involved" section) because it's a bit hard to find right now.

"contributing" page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARROW/Contributing+to+Apache+Arrow

main project README: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/README.md 

 

EDIT: Moving the "Contributing" wiki to a page in the actual Arrow Sphinx docs (location in repo) would also make it easier to find and modify. An additional task, ARROW-4427  was added to do this.
