I find no such file. I'm using ordinary Emacs releases on MS Windows. First, there are two `etc' folders: One at the top level of the zip archive, and one as folder `share/emacs/26.3/etc'. So those instructions about looking for `etc/CONTRIBUTE' aren't clear. I find no `CONTRIBUTE' in either of those `etc' folders. Searching with Windows Explorer finds no such file anywhere in the Emacs 26.3 distribution (I have the "full" distribution, i.e., with dependencies). I find file `share/emacs/26.3/etc/README', but that says almost nothing, and certainly nothing about contributing to Emacs development. I also find `share/emacs/26.3/README.W32', but that makes no reference to `CONTRIBUTE'. When I search the distribution of Emacs 24.5, I find CONTRIBUTE in folder `share/emacs/24.5/etc'. Similarly for some other releases (for 23.4 it is in top-level folder `etc'; for 22.3 it's in the top-level folder). But starting with Emacs 25.3.1 I find no such file. (I also find no such file for 21.4 or 20.7.) What am I missing? Where is a user on MS Windows supposed to find file `CONTRIBUTE'?
