docs: Remove paragraph about getting help finding issues in contributing. 

Removes a paragraph about posting in the new members stream to get
help finding issues to work on from the first contribution part of
the contributing guide.

Also updates the remaining section about posting to new members as
a way to introduce yourself with a link to the community norms and
offering positive feedback as well as constructive criticism.
