Closes #4962

Description

Rewrites the paragraph under "Where the policy is stated" in docs/contribution-model.md. It said the forms go live "at the first milestone merge that contains them" and that "until then the chooser offers a blank issue". The forms reach main with #4939, and config.yml disables blank issues, so that wording goes stale. It now states the steady-state rule, as CONTRIBUTING.md (#4959) and the issue-form headers do: a change to the forms or config.yml goes live at the next milestone merge, not when it merges into v2/main.

The close comments in issue-triage keep linking to CONTRIBUTING.md on v2/main, so the sentence about them stays, reworded.

Server Details

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

Motivation and Context

Same staleness as #4940, in a file outside #4939's five, so it would otherwise reach main at v2.0.0 unchanged. See #4962.

How Has This Been Tested?

No client-observable surface; targeted probe: git grep -n -i "blank issue\|until then" over docs, .claude, AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and RELEASING.md now finds only config.yml's "disables blank issues" table entry, and no other transitional wording about the forms. Markdown is not a Prettier target in this repo, and no code, package, workflow or skill is touched, so npm run local:gate was not run.

Breaking Changes

None.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The issue forms reach main with #4939 and config.yml disables blank
issues, so "until then the chooser offers a blank issue" goes stale.
State the steady-state rule instead, as CONTRIBUTING.md now does.
