Replace Redirect README.txt with README.md and update

Thanks, MR looks good to me so moving it to RTBC

Assigning to myself as I'm triaging all RTBC issues.

I've checked the issue credits for the users above and have found that most/all of them have made a practice of creating these README.txt to README.md issues in what appears to be an attempt to game the issue credit system.

Please see: 🌱 Categorize contributions that could be considered 'gaming the credit system' and propose solutions (policy, automation, etc) Active

Although there may be some merit in this issue as it shows on GitLab, I am closing as "won't fix" to dissuade this type of contribution. We may separately update the README file as maintainers but not as part of this issue.

Thanks for looking at this @Kristen Pol.

I just posted a more general comment 🌱 Categorize contributions that could be considered 'gaming the credit system' and propose solutions (policy, automation, etc) Active about how I see the challenges of preventing gaming of the credit system in the issue you link to.

I do think updating the format to Markdown would be an improvement, which shouldn't automatically be categorized as credit gaming, and commented:

It has been discussed at length, and decided that the Markdown works better than txt in #3192842: Make our README more welcoming by converting it into an "entrypoint" into the Drupal ecosystem → , which I very much agree with. By now, txt README's look like relics from the 90's to me, since most projects now use Markdown on Github and Gitlab.

Now, about this issue, which triggered my comment ...

What we could do is evaluate the individual contributions from the users above who committed changes, and grant credit to those who added useful changes?

I just went through the changes, and from what I can tell, it's mostly the last commit, you are aiming your critique at, and I agree that the update by @Manoj Raj.R looks redundant.

But I actually think linking to Pathauto and Pathologic under "Recommended modules" is a great idea, and I would grant credit to @Shubham Rathore and @fanton.

Thank you @ressa for chiming in here. I will certainly reconsider my position based on your feedback. I might not be able to look at this again properly until tomorrow but I did want you to know that I saw this and appreciate your candid input.

Thank you @Kristen Pol for a fast response, and for you willingness to take a second look at this. And I do feel a bit bad, since you are a very considerate and friendly presence in the issue queues, so please don't take this personal. And there's no pressure for a fast review, it can easily wait until you have time.

Please don’t feel bad at all! You are giving valid and needed feedback on a delicate subject and I very much appreciate the input. I am happy you felt comfortable providing this feedback. I want to be in a community that is open to such candid discussions.
