update CONTRIBUTING with bias notice 
Submitting your own software is only cool if you have a huge healthy ecosystem. If you have 20 stars on github and you are the sole developer, that's not awesome. Consider what happens when you die (see also: truck factor) and lots of people depend on your software?
