The Contribution Checklist starts specific then goes more general as it
continues: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing
/writing-code/submitting-patches/#contribution-checklist . This means that
as a new contributor coming in on a docs issue, I didn't realize there was
an "All tickets" section after "All Code Contributions" until I had gotten
all the way to submitting a PR that was autoclosed for not meeting
requirements that hadn't been onscreen when I carefully read the
Documentation section.

Instead, I would expect that things everyone needs to know would come
first, followed by more specific things that only some people need, so
readers can safely drop out once they've gotten specific advice on their
particular issue type. In this case, I propose reordering the sections as
follows:
1. All tickets
2. All code changes
3. Documentation
4. Bugs
5. New features
6. Deprecating a feature
