And these ones (at least), I think:

http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/
https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Legal-Matters.html#Legal-Matters
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BzrForEmacsDevs
(info "(elisp) Tips")
admin/notes

I wrote a contributing guide[fn:1] before, but I deleted it later
because it is too verbose[fn:2].  I plan to write some other things
about contributing to Emacs now: an Emacs Lisp refcard, an Emacs Lisp
FAQ, and an Emacs hacker guide[fn:3].

Footnotes:

[fn:1] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-04/msg00604.html

[fn:2] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-04/msg00659.html

[fn:3] Only for Emacs Dev, so it is not like the one above.  Many people
       in Emacs Dev have expressed their wish for this document, like:
       http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-04/msg00660.html
       http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-09/msg00616.html
