>> 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`)

>> * 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
