Agree that this one is probably better in Community than How To Contribute.

This one could work in How To Contribute. From the abstract, it seems 
that they are walking through some of the practical steps of 
contribution: Learning developer tools, bug filing, review process.

That they're doing this by example of their experience, and not 
following or aiming to create some dry document or process isn't a 
problem from my perspective :)

Additionally, the social aspect of how to become a contributor is worthy 
of exploration - they are talking about a practical process (internship 
program) by which they achieved contributor status.
