Removes the requirement to announce and discuss a bug fix before starting work.

Previously Contributing Bug Fixes asked contributors to state they were going to work on the bug, and to discuss major structural changes in the issue before doing the work. In practice that leaves someone who has already written and verified a fix waiting for permission to open a PR rather than just opening one.

The rest is unchanged: log the bug with a reproduction, then branch from latest and submit a PR when done.
