> The JavaFX [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/kevinrushforth/jfx/blob/8332313-contributing/CONTRIBUTING.md) guidelines includes guidance for creating, reviewing, and integrating changes to JavaFX, along with a pointer to a [Code Review Policies](https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/OpenJFX/Code+Reviews) Wiki page.
>
> This PR updates these guidelines to improve the quality of reviews, with a goal of improving JavaFX and decreasing the chance of introducing a serious regression or other critical bug.
>
> The source branch has three commits:
> 1. Converts the Code Review Policies Wiki page to a [README-code-reviews.md](https://github.com/kevinrushforth/jfx/blob/8332313-contributing/README-code-reviews.md) file in the repo and updates hyperlinks to the new location.
> 2. Update `README-code-reviews.md` with new guidelines
> 3. Update `CONTRIBUTING.md` to highlight important requirements (and minor changes to `README-code-reviews.md`)
>
> Commit 1 is content neutral, so it might be helpful for reviewers to look at the changes starting from the second commit.
>
> The updates are:
>
> * In the Overview section, add a list of items for Reviewers, PR authors, and sponsoring Committers to verify prior to integration
> * Create a "Guidelines for reviewing a PR" subsection of the Code review policies section
> * Create a "Before you integrate or sponsor a PR" subsection of the Code review policies section
> * Update the `CONTRIBUTING.md` page to highlight important requirements
