I was amused by the recent "punctuation fix" commit: I've always
considered the CG to be "the guide for contributors", or "the
contributors's [sic] guide". In modern English, the latter is
abbreviated (condensed?) into "the contributors' guide".
I don't mind it being "the guide for a contributor" instead, so I
have no objection to "the contributor's guide".
Cheers,
