CONTRIBUTING.md is also referenced by the MAINTAINERS entry in the `P:`
field. For README.md, I don't mind removing it, as that still keeps the
rules of which files should be synchronized simple (see the other
thread). But I agree with Miguel that it is beneficial to keep in order
to show that it is a vendored library.
