This ticket documents the modernization of the
CONTRIBUTING.mdfile to ensure its content is up-to-date and its policies are clear for new contributors.The following changes were made:
Added Inactive Assignee Policy: A new rule was added to section 3.2. It states that an assigned ticket may be re-assigned if the assignee is unresponsive for more than 7 days. This is intended to prevent tickets from stalling and keep project momentum.
Rewrote Outdated Introduction: Section 1, which was written when the project was first released, has been completely rewritten. The new text removes outdated language ("just got released"), updates platform names (Twitter -> X), and adopts a more professional tone suitable for a mature open-source project.
