docs: add CONTRIBUTORS.md issues-only policy (closes #1517) (#1604)
* docs: add CONTRIBUTORS.md issues-only policy (#1517)

Document the contribution policy: we accept issues, not pull requests.
Maintainers handle design and implementation through a prompt-driven
workflow. Contributors who have already built a change locally should
share the prompt they used rather than a diff.

Cross-reference the policy from AGENTS.md.

* docs: add PR template redirecting external authors to issues-only policy (#1517)

GitHub auto-populates pull_request_template.md into every new PR body,
so it steers would-be external PR authors to CONTRIBUTORS.md before they
submit a diff.

* docs: drop version-board details from CONTRIBUTORS.md (#1517)

The policy takes effect after v2/main merges into main, leaving a single
line of development. Tell contributors to open a well-formed issue rather
than routing them to per-version project boards.

* docs: add version-board/label table to CONTRIBUTORS.md (closes #1595)

Completes requirement #2 of #1517: a table mapping each active version to
its base branch, project board, and version label, plus a "Label by
version" note mirroring AGENTS.md.

* docs: drop v1.5 from CONTRIBUTORS.md, invite deeper contribution (#1517)

Review feedback on PR #1604:

- Remove the v1.5 row/bullet from the version table — v1.5 was an internal
  intermediate branch that external contributors never saw, so surfacing it
  in an outward-facing doc is noise. The table is now v1 / v2 only.
- Add a "Want to work on the Inspector with us?" section pointing at the MCP
  Contributor Discord (#inspector-dev) and the community calls, framing the
  issues-only rule as being about unsolicited patches rather than a closed
  door, with supervised work as the path toward maintainership.
- Link that section from "Why this policy exists", and add the same Discord
  pointer to the PR template.

* docs: drop project-board links from CONTRIBUTORS.md (#1517)

The org project boards aren't visible to anyone outside the organization, so
linking them in an outward-facing doc points contributors at a 404. The
version table is now base branch + label only, and the PR template names the
version labels instead of "the appropriate version board".

* docs: v1 takes security fixes only (#1517)

* docs: use post-runbook branch names (v1/main, main) (#1517)

This doc will be read after the branch runbook completes, when v1 lives on
v1/main and v2 is the default main. Update the version table, the label-by-
version line, and the PR template's label hint + CONTRIBUTORS.md links
accordingly.

Heads up: this repository accepts issues, not pull requests from external contributors. Please read CONTRIBUTORS.md before continuing. If you're an external contributor, open an issue (and share the prompt you used, if you've already built the change) rather than this PR.

Want to work on the Inspector with us directly? Come say hello in #inspector-dev on the MCP Contributor Discord — we're happy to scope work with you.
