After more thought I went back to this first suggestion, and put "please 
do not create pull requests" at the start of the CONTRIBUTING file, 
going back to plain-text format. Although this is not as spiffy-looking 
on GitHub, it should be good enough to address what remains of the 
original problem.

There is some advantage to sticking with plain text over Markdown as 
tzdb already has two other markup formats - HTML5, and man pages - and 
proliferation of markup formats has its own problems. Had GitHub 
supported CONTRIBUTING.html it might have been a different matter.

I did leave a few Markdownisms in CONTRIBUTING (when they look fine in 
text too), and backported some of the minor improvements to CONTRIBUTING 
that I had made to the Markdown version.

I'm attaching both a 'git diff -b' between last week's CONTRIBUTING and 
the new, and the newly-installed proposed patches.
