https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md just redirects to element-web. It makes sense to clarify when sign-off is needed vs when CLA is needed.


Everyone is welcome to contribute code to Element Web, provided that they are willing to license their contributions to Element under a [Contributor License Agreement](https://cla-assistant.io/element-hq/element-web) (CLA). This ensures that their contribution will be made available under an OSI-approved open-source license, currently licensed under Affero General Public License v3 (AGPLv3) or General Public License v3 (GPLv3) at your choice.

I think this bit needs to live in the js-sdk repo given its owned by another org, we shouldn't have it link to the contributing guide owned by another entity
