Contributor

Makes it easy for new contributors to find work and open good PRs. The CONTRIBUTING.md was already solid; this adds the missing connective tissue.

What changed

  • Issue templates (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/)
    • bug_report.yml — form enforcing version / Java / browser / repro / stack trace (the info CONTRIBUTING.md asks for).
    • feature_request.yml — problem-first, with a "philosophy fit" dropdown and backcompat checkboxes.
    • config.yml — disables blank issues; links Discussions, docs, and good first issues.
  • PR template (.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md) — pre-filled with the CONTRIBUTING PR checklist.
  • ROADMAP.md — added a post-1.0 "current focus & where help is welcome" section (kept the existing phased history). Seeds the contribution backlog from the docs-discoverability review.
  • README.md — expanded Contributing section (good first issues / help wanted / roadmap / discussions links) + PRs welcome and good first issues badges.

Verified

  • Issue-form YAML validates.
  • Discussions + Issues already enabled on the repo.

Next step (separate, needs your sign-off)

Populate the empty issue tracker with a seed batch of good first issue / help wanted issues — I'll post the drafts for review before creating any publicly.

…ME surfacing

Lower the barrier for new contributors and make open work visible:

- .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ — bug report + feature request issue forms and a
  config that disables blank issues and links Discussions, docs, and good
  first issues. Forms enforce the info CONTRIBUTING.md asks for (versions,
  repro, philosophy fit).
- .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md — pre-filled with the CONTRIBUTING PR
  checklist (tests, coverage, no new deps, @SeleniumBootApi compatibility).
- ROADMAP.md — add a post-1.0 "current focus & where help is welcome"
  section surfacing contribution opportunities (kept the existing phased
  history intact).
- README.md — expand the Contributing section with good-first-issue /
  help-wanted / roadmap / discussions links, plus PRs-welcome and good-first
  -issues badges.
