CONTRIBUTE's main audience is people who have no write access to the
Emacs repository, so what it says just tells them on what branch to
base the patches. The decision to which branch to push is then made
by someone who actually pushes the changes.
I'm okay with adding the request to ask about committing to the
release branch, but at the time I was under the impression that some
people didn't agree with such a policy, so I'm not sure the project as
a whole would like it carved in stone from here to eternity.

That's not the reality. People explicitly ask _me_ whether it's okay
to push to the release branch; the exceptions are almost non-existent.
