[documentation] Proposal for a "Contributing to Drupal" handbook section

[dave at digitalraindrop.com]

"Talk to the community" should, perhaps, change to "Talk to us". It's more
personal, it conveys the sense of community much better than the word
"community", and it also suggests "contact us" ...which is a much richer
model in the open source world..
