  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with CONTRIBUTING.md and review the documentation-related context in issues #5079 and #3588, along with pull request #5227. Done means CONTRIBUTING.md contains a writing-documentation contribution section; whether a separate docs folder is needed remains unspecified.
