Summary:
It's fairly common for people to show up and be interested in finding easy stuff to work on. This stuff basically doesn't exist and probably never will: it doesn't make much sense to deliberately leave easy bugs broken just because someone might show up and want to fix a couple of easy bugs.
Almost all of the work that's valuable to us requires a depth or bredth of context which can't be acquired in a few hours here and there, and probably always will. I think it also always //should//, in that as long as we continue refactoring and clearing technical debt aggressively and having solid static analysis support tools, we should never have a large backlog of human-intelligence codebase tasks. The closest we've ever come were probably `pht()` and `phutil_tag()`, which both have a lot of subtleties and we mostly automated `phutil_tag()` anyway. These tasks are also //incredibly boring// to write and review.
So, accept this as a reality and realign the contributor documentation to try to deal with this case:
- Set expectations about starter tasks not existing and throwing a couple of hours at the project writing code being a hard path.
- Suggest non-code contributions which anyone can do.
- Segue into code contributions with context and suggestions.
Test Plan: Generated and read documentation.

Summary:
- Support file attachments in Mailgun, after D8831.
- Fix `bin/mail send-test --attach ...` flag.
- Make `bin/mail send-test` route mail through the daemons.
- Remove the `workerTaskID` on MetaMTAMail, which is only used (needlessly) by `bin/mail resend` and creates a huge mess elsewhere.
- Currently, when mail fails, the daemon exits with a very generic and useless message. Instead, make `sendNow()` throw when it fails, so the real reason is surfaced. This is OK now because mail is always sent via the daemons.
- Now that Mailgun supports attachments, document it.
- Update a bunch of mail docs.
Test Plan:
- Sent mail.
- Sent mail with attachments.
- Read documentation.

Fixes T3923. On `secure.phabricator.com`, we occasionally get slowed to a crawl when someone runs a security scanner against us, or 5 search bots decide to simultaneously index every line of every file in Diffusion.
Every time a user makes a request, give their IP address some points. If they get too many points in 5 minutes, start blocking their requests automatically for a while.
We give fewer points for logged in requests. We could futher refine this (more points for a 404, more points for a really slow page, etc.) but let's start simply.
Also, provide a mechanism for configuring this, and configuring the LB environment stuff at the same time (this comes up rarely, but we don't have a good answer right now).
Test Plan: Used `ab` and reloading over and over again to hit rate limits. Read documentation.

- Insane `#includedir` magic, as above.
- Confusion around `vcs-user` for HTTP, since I think this is fairly clear.
- Confusion around parent directory permissions -- not sure about this one, `sshd` normally runs as root?
I added an `ssh-shell` as a safer alternative to `/bin/sh`. I need to test this a bit more.

Fixes T3202. This fixes a couple of workflow issues:
- Accepted Revision -> Request Review. Currently this stays "accepted" due to sticky rules being too aggressive, but should transition to "needs review".
- Accepted Revision -> Plan Changes -> Request Review. Currently this stays "accepted". I think this behavior is correct, and have retained it. (In this case, you don't update the revision, you just "undo" your plan changes.) You can "Request Review" again to get back to "Needs Review".
Then implements a "sticky accept" switch:
- When off, updates downgrade accepts.
- When off, "request review" always downgrades accepts.
Test Plan:
- Went through all (I think?) of the plan changes / request review / accept / update workflows, with sticky accept on and off.

Facebook: I don't recall exactly how all the search stuff is rigged up, but this might provide a more practical / less fragile alternative. I think it publishes into ElasticSearch now, and then intern somehow handles the result merge at display time, implictly relying on Phabricator's storage format? A cleaner approach might be to publish a secondary "intern" index in a standard format.
