Changing How We Develop Ladybird

- Ladybird will no longer accept public pull requests; code changes will only be made by project maintainers.
- The change aims to establish a tighter development process, clearer security model, and fewer responsible individuals as the project approaches its first alpha release.
- AI tools have altered the dynamics of contributions, making pull requests less indicative of genuine effort and trustworthiness, which is critical for a browser handling untrusted internet input.
- All currently open public pull requests will be closed to fully implement this new policy, with no alternative submission process via issues, email, or forks.
- Ladybird remains open source under its license, and external involvement through bug reports, testing, discussions, and feedback is still welcomed and valued.
