Warner Losh 015ae66889 github: Update with better guidance on what's acceptable for src
Tighten and clarify the submission requirements:
* No AI submissions
* No trivial submissions: pull requests have to solve a real problem
* We may timeout requests after a month
* FreeBSD committers (all repos) are responible for merging their
  commits to the appropriate repo. github can be used to seek approval
  for such commits (eg a ports committer wants to make a src change).
* Wordsmith a few things to make them clearer to people new to our
  jargon.
* Not all psuedonyms are created equal, and we may disallow a PR
  based on that.

FreeBSD Source:

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory. Additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information.

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), FreeBSD handbook on building userland, and Handbook for kernels for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

For information on the CPU architectures and platforms supported by FreeBSD, see the FreeBSD website's Platforms page.

For official FreeBSD bootable images, see the release page.
