Switch to simpler contributing process?

[Ainali]

The process we have, with a develop branch and release branches, is very rigorous, but perhaps a bit overkill since we're now in a state where the normal pull request is just a simple blog post. Having two review process for the same blog post, often back-to-back of each other, does not add as much value as it is tedious to do it. Can we switch to just merging to main?

[ericherman]

I would not oppose.

[Ainali]

I suggest we then:

• Switch default branch to main
• Update our instructions on About to make clear release branches are not used
• Mention the main branch in CONTRIBUTING.md#making-a-pull-request
• Delete the develop branch

Did I miss anything?

[ericherman]

I think that's it -- updating About was the thing I was thinking we'd need to remember.

The branches have been changed!
