Single-commit pull requests are discouraged by the core team now, so
drop that section and just refer to cbeams a kernel docs instead.

xmonad-testing isn't really being used, so the wording needs to be
changed in CONTRIBUTING.md and in the PR template. The important thing:
we want an example for new modules/functionality, and appropriate tests.

Instead of manually compiling with `-Wall -Werror` and the like, we have
a `pedantic` flag in xmonad's cabal file with which to run the CI.
Since contributors are very unlikely to not use either stack or cabal to
build xmonad, we should refer them to this flag instead of listing all
of the options they would need to compile xmonad with in order to check
their work.

Nowadays, the IRC and (since it is linked to it) matrix channels are
much faster ways to get into contact with us than the (very low traffic)
mailing list. CONTRIBUTING should reflect that, since especially new
contributors might not know where to go to get a feeling for the people
working on the project—or worse, think we only communicate via pull
requests and issues!
Style guidelines should be where most people will see them. Since we
already ask people to read CONTIRBUTING.md when they submit a pull
request, putting them in there seems like the best place.
We can also drop the curious "or freer" clause from the licensing point,
much like xmonad-contrib@f39218ddb5ffeddce90f620910d5ef2c14f2b43d
already did.
Since freenode has decided to kick us off because we said that we're
moving to Libera:
Topic for #xmonad is "This channel has moved to ##xmonad. The topic is in violation of freenode policy: https://freenode.net/policies"
Topic set by freenodecom (~com@freenode/staff) on Wed, 26 May 2021 04:59:51
it is high time we change the official channel on the website—even
though we don't even have OP on Libera yet.
