Many large FOSS projects (which this is aimed for) already have CONTRIBUTING.md etc...
I personally prefer this non UI/Github specific approach.

I agree. This gives other git hosting providers the ability to implement the same feature using the same files.
Yes. Yet it's a bit weird in case .github folder is used. Will they support a .bitbucket, .gitlab, etc. They could have used a more generic name like .contributing, but this increases the risk of name collision.
They can start with `.github` and later give us a way to define a custom name, like adding something on `.gitconfig` or `.gitattributes`.
or like .dotfiles/ or .repoconfig/
