------------------------------------

             Summary: Add some pointers for wiki/CONTRIBUTING.md in README.md and some warnings in PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE
                 Key: SPARK-17840
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17840
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Documentation
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Hyukjin Kwon
            Priority: Trivial


It seems it'd better to give best efforts for describing the guides for creating JIRAs and PRs as there are several discussions about this.

Maybe,

 - We could add some pointers of {{CONTRIBUTING.md}} or wiki[2] in README.md 

 - Adds an explicit warning in PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE[3], in particular, for some PRs trying to merge a branch to another branch, for example as below:

{code}
Please double check if your pull request is from a branch to a branch. It is probably wrong if the pull request title is "Branch 2.0" or "Merge ..." or if your pull request includes many commit logs unrelated to your changes to propose. 
{code}

Please refer the mailing list[1].
