Closes #4940

Description

Drops the transitional sentence in CONTRIBUTING.md ("How to report a bug or request a feature") that told reporters to open a blank issue until the forms reached main. Once #4939 merges, the forms are in the chooser, and .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml sets blank_issues_enabled: false, so the sentence describes a state that no longer exists and recommends a fallback that is unavailable.

The paragraph now states the steady-state rule, matching the header comments in the three .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/*.yml files: a change to the forms goes live at the next milestone merge, not when it merges into v2/main.

Sequencing: once this merges, CONTRIBUTING.md on #4939's branch is refreshed from v2/main, so that PR stays byte-identical to v2/main and what reaches main ahead of v2.0.0 does not carry the stale sentence.

Server Details

  • Server: none (repository-wide)
  • Changes to: contribution docs

Motivation and Context

Raised by Copilot on #4939 (#4939 (comment)), declined there because that PR must match v2/main. See #4940.

How Has This Been Tested?

No client-observable surface; targeted probes:

  1. grep -n -i "blank issue\|until then" CONTRIBUTING.md .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/* .github/pull_request_template.md finds only the config.yml comment explaining that blank issues are disabled.
  2. npx prettier --check CONTRIBUTING.md passes.
  3. The diff is one paragraph in one Markdown file. npm run local:gate was not run: no code, package, workflow or skill is touched.

Breaking Changes

None.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The issue forms reach main with #4939, and config.yml sets
blank_issues_enabled: false, so "until then, open a blank issue"
describes a state that no longer exists and recommends a fallback that
is unavailable. State the steady-state rule instead: a change to the
forms goes live at the next milestone merge.

Takes CONTRIBUTING.md from v2/main, which dropped the transitional
blank-issue fallback (#4940), so this branch stays byte-identical to
v2/main and main does not receive the stale sentence.
