[BUG] CONTRIBUTING.md contradicts itself on issue-assignment and PR-rate limits #48666

Description

@shravanithouta108

🐛 What's broken?

CONTRIBUTING.md contains two internal contradictions: it states different numbers for the same rules in different sections of the same file, and one of those numbers also disagrees with the live docs site.


📋 Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open CONTRIBUTING.md: https://github.com/SAPTARSHI-coder/EaseMotion-css/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
  2. Read the "🕑 Issue Cooldown Rule" section near the top — it says "Maximum 25 active assigned issues per contributor."
  3. Scroll down to the "Strict Repository Rules" table — it says "Issue Assignments: Max 2 active."
  4. Read the "📢 Contribution Rate Limit Update" section — it says "Contributors may submit up to 150 PRs per day."
  5. Scroll down to the same "Strict Repository Rules" table — it says "PR Rate Limit: Max 25 PRs/day."
  6. Compare with the docs site: https://saptarshi-coder.github.io/EaseMotion-css/index.html#how-to-contribute — the table there matches the table values (Max 2 active issues, Max 25 PRs/day), not the numbers stated in the prose sections above them.

✅ Expected Behavior

CONTRIBUTING.md should state one consistent number for each rule, and that number should match the docs site.


❌ Actual Behavior

  • Issue assignment limit: prose section says 25, table in the same file says 2.
  • PR rate limit: prose section says 150/day, table in the same file says 25/day.
  • The docs site only matches the table values, not the prose sections.

🔗 Reproduction

Not applicable — this is a documentation discrepancy, not a CSS/HTML bug. Compare the sections and table linked above directly within CONTRIBUTING.md.

<!-- N/A: no code reproduction needed for this documentation issue -->

🌍 Environment

Field Value
EaseMotion CSS version N/A (documentation only)
Browser N/A
OS N/A

Suggested fix: pick one correct value for each rule (recommend matching the "Strict Repository Rules" table and docs site: Max 2 active issues, Max 25 PRs/day) and update the prose sections to match, removing the contradiction.
