The goal of this PR is to fix #1513.

Similar to ESLint's Contribution documentation, this PR adds a new "Contributing" Section to our Webdocumentation. The overall goal of this (as well as follow up PRs) was to migrate the contents of the CONTRIBUTION file on GitHub with a full fledged documentation on our website. Having the the additional mark up power of vitepress lets us structure these docs in a more abstract why than to dump everything into a single play markdown file.
Since this has already been questioned in the comments, I'll hope to discuss the matter with you in the PR or a team meeting.

My plan is to add an additional "Active Development" page later on.
This way the rest of the CONTRIUTION section can be addresses in a meaningmul way, without making the "Submit a Pull Request" page more overwhelming than it already is.
I'm open to additional suggestion, tho.

Do not forget to check out the new docs via the netlify deploy preview.


Note

I'll admit that I've used the help of some AI tools to structure the overall file hierarchy. Since I am not native in English, I do hope this reduces the need for spelling and grammar fixes drastically as well.

Important

My commit messages are marked as "Unverified" right now, since my PC broke down last Thursday. I'm currently on a temporary device which I am to lazy to configure. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Maybe add an additional section next to New Locale Criteria? Something like New Method Criteria, where we request acceptance critera from the issuer?

If your feature isn't accepted into the library, you can still create it using Faker's Helper methods.
Our goal is to empower developers, not limit possibilities.

For more details on creating custom features, refer to our documentation on [Create Complex Objects](/guide/usage#create-complex-objects).

I'm not sure whether the Create Complex Objects page is the best page to refer to here, but I don't know any better either.

Is the end goal that this replaces CONTRIBUTING.md and that becomes a stub pointing at the web version?

I hope not 👀
IMO "contributing" is more a GitHub related thing, than a user facing documentation 🤔

IMO this new section is a huge benefit and we should already publish it. If we want to enhance it, we can do it with further PRs anyway.
