Description

We've had a recent wave of issues and pull requests that feels to me like it's not in the spirit of improving this project, rather something completely random or a change that's just for the sake of change.

Here's some examples
Issues
- https://github.com/firstcontributions/first-contributions/issues/106812
- https://github.com/firstcontributions/first-contributions/issues/106772
- https://github.com/firstcontributions/first-contributions/issues/106645

Pull requests
- https://github.com/firstcontributions/first-contributions/pull/106768
- https://github.com/firstcontributions/first-contributions/pull/106717
- https://github.com/firstcontributions/first-contributions/pull/106706
- https://github.com/firstcontributions/first-contributions/pull/106775
- https://github.com/firstcontributions/first-contributions/pull/106822

I'm wondering if improving our [Contributing.md](https://github.com/firstcontributions/first-contributions/blob/main/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) can improve this.

Maybe details like
- Check for `help wanted` label before starting on a issue
- Make sure maintainers confirm before making changes to Readme
- If you're submitting an issue, think about how this improves this project. Explain it in the issue

If you have suggestions on improving Contributing.md, please comment below, let's discuss and decide how to improve it
