This PR:

  • adds the FoundingGIDE project to the known users of the ontology;
  • adds Chris Woodcock (Cell Image Library) and Kathy Matthews (FlyBase) to the list of known contributors to the ontology;
  • rewrites the contributing guidelines.

In the past, known editors of the ontology included:

- Kathy Matthews (FlyBase), who apparently did most of (all?) the
  editing on the original FlyBase version of the ontology;
- Chris Woodcock (Cell Image Library).

None of them seem to have an ORCID (likely because they worked before
ORCID was even a thing), so until/unless we can find another kind of
semantic identifier for them we will reference them by their name.
Rewrite the existing guidelines, which were a bit too "generic". Group
the recommendations in two sections, depending on whether the would-be
contributor will contribute by opening tickets or by submitting PRs.
