Re: [csswg-drafts] Update CONTRIBUTING.md to match how the testing process really works

As soon as "Needs testcase (WPT)" is added is a good time for third party (i.e. anybody other than the editors) to check if we actually already have test cases covering that and submit some new ones if we don't.

When we try to transition to CR is a good time for chairs to check if there are any "Needs testcase (WPT)" labels left.

Editors who maximize for throughput will typically hope that someone else writes the test, focus on spec changes, and (maybe) try to plug the remaining holes when we try to transition the spec.

Editors who maximize for the velocity of each individual change will be more proactive in write tests and reporting upstream bugs.

If you want to be starting your search with normative changes, mostly you'll find that almost none of them (initially) have test cases, so the best thing to do is probably to check that there is a corresponding "Needs testcase (WPT)" label and add it if it's not there, so that someone follows up eventually.
