Add CONTRIBUTING file.
If the CONTRIBUTING[.md] file exists, Github will show a link to it to anyone who files an issue on Github or opens a pull request on Github. We don't want people to do that, so this file points people at the OpenStack wiki page with instructions on how to contribute properly. This should cut down on the number of pull requests and Github issues that we then have to spend our valuable time ignoring. See also <https://github.com/blog/1184-contributing-guidelines>.

+If you would like to contribute to the development of OpenStack,
+you must follow the steps in the "If you're a developer, start here"
+section of this page: [http://wiki.openstack.org/HowToContribute](http://wiki.openstack.org/HowToContribute#If_you.27re_a_developer.2C_start_here:)
+
+Once those steps have been completed, changes to OpenStack
+should be submitted for review via the Gerrit tool, following
+the workflow documented at [http://wiki.openstack.org/GerritWorkflow](http://wiki.openstack.org/GerritWorkflow).
+
+Pull requests submitted through GitHub will be ignored.
+
+Bugs should be filed [on Launchpad](https://bugs.launchpad.net/swift),
+not in GitHub's issue tracker.
