Description

There will be subtasks related, so this has no component.

This adds a visual indicator for guidelines, in Github:
See: https://github.com/blog/1184-contributing-guidelines

This will help with pull requests and such. Currently contributors either have to know that:
1. They have to sign the Apache iCLA
2. They have to file a corresponding JIRA issue (highly recommended)
3. Run tests, so their patch doesn't break existing functionality

This will greatly help with the workload of committers.
