Description
### Search before asking
- [X] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues) and found nothing similar.
### Motivation
### Issue
Currently, we do not have instructions on how to contribute a connector.
Devs might forget to add a connector to the [download page](https://pulsar.apache.org/download/) after they finish the development (e.g., https://apache-pulsar.slack.com/archives/C5Z4T36F7/p1676570833081629).
Even though users can check and download all connectors on the [archive page](https://archive.apache.org/dist/pulsar/), we still want to provide complete info to users in quickest time.
### Solution
We need to document the connector contribution workflow. It might contain the following steps:
1. Code: How to submit the code?
2. Doc: How to write a doc for it?
3. Download: How to add it to the download page?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Review the existing connector contribution process, the Pulsar download page, and the archive page linked in the issue. Document the code submission, connector documentation, and download-page update steps; done means contributors can follow the workflow and users can find newly released connectors promptly.
