When creating or viewing patches, we need to follow certain rules. There are many pages of documentation. E.g. Reviewing Patches, Coding standards, Making a Drupal patch with Git. Even if the documentation is complete, not everyone will look for it. It would be nice to have the most important links on hand.
Add block "Contributor guide" to the sidebar on issues. It will motivate and help the novice to become a better contributor.
Add a block to the sidebar on issues.
Select the most important links that should appear there.

drumm#2185511: Highlight User Contributions & What They Can Do Next in Issue Queue also had some ideas around putting more instruction in the issue page UI.
Descriptions of issue tags would also be a useful place to link to contributor guide pages. https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/docs/maintenance/maintaining-issue-tags

jhodgdonThis should possibly be postponed until we have migrated more content from the old Getting Involved Guide to the Contributor Guide, since the links will be changing. Also until we figure out what the workflow is for pull requests instead of patches, as that seems to be a change that is coming soon.

kristen polLove this! I agree with @jhodgdon that this should be postponed until we know what we should show as things are in flux right now.
