Description
The CONTRIBUTING.md file needs to state that contributions to repos in this organization should be from RPC staff, authors, and stream managers only. If someone would like to contribute an update while a document is in Final Review, they should contact the document's authors.
The CONTRIBUTING.md file can also be hosted from the https://github.com/rfc-editor-drafts/.github repo instead of being part of each individual document repo, as all repos in this organization are for documents that are being edited by the RPC.

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reading the existing CONTRIBUTING.md in the base-template repository and inspect the rfc-editor-drafts/.github repository to understand how organization-level contribution guidance is hosted. Update the policy for RPC staff, authors, and stream managers, include the Final Review contact guidance, and confirm the organization-level file can replace the individual repository copy.
