What's that? I have an "Emacs distribution" for 26.3, from here
(the location announced in emacs-devel@gnu.org on 2019-09-01):
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__alpha.gnu.org_gnu_emacs_pretest_windows_emacs-2D26_&d=DwICAg&c=RoP1YumCXCgaWHvlZYR8PZh8Bv7qIrMUB65eapI_JnE&r=kI3P6ljGv6CTHIKju0jqInF6AOwMCYRDQUmqX22rJ98&m=7le47_VmxC77S4y7ZAEyhihP7eM9uhQzgEyuCq2jGAE&s=lZL3oWwAmq2LTzXevRIMYcwDl_2GbE3phyns_9v30RI&e=
There is no CONTRIBUTE anywhere in that zip archive, AFAICT.
