Contributing small patches to Emacs is easy.  You report a bug, include
the patch, and someone will look at it.

No instructions necessary beyond "git clone
git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git", really.

(See
http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2014/11/13/welcome-new-emacs-developers/
for details.)

If, however, you mean complete instructions on how to be an Emacs
maintainer, that would be a very long document indeed, and I don't think
it matters one iota whether that's on the web or in ./CONTRIBUTORS.
