What changed

Fix three small documentation issues in README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md:

  • README.md: the Contributing, License, and licenses links pointed to the develop branch, which is no longer the default branch. Point them to main so they no longer 404 for new readers.
  • README.md: the community email used a relative-path Markdown link that did not resolve to a working address. Switch it to a proper mailto: link.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md: fix a small grammar issue in the "Reporting New Issues" section ("Then can placed in" -> "They can be placed in").

Why

These were noticed while reading the contributing flow. Wrong default-branch links and a broken mailto are friction for first-time contributors; the grammar fix is a drive-by while we are in the file.

How I checked

  • git diff against cloudwego/kitex:main shows the three changes above, no other files touched.
  • No code changes, no test changes, no CI impact.

Notes

  • No related issue. Per CONTRIBUTING.md §"Submit a Pull Request", the small scope of this PR should not require an issue, but happy to open one if maintainers prefer.
  • Author identity: this PR is filed from a personal account. Please let me know if a DCO/sign-off is required.

- README.md: point CONTRIBUTING and LICENSE links to the main branch
  (the default branch) instead of develop.
- README.md: the community email link used a relative path that did not
  resolve; switch to a proper mailto: link.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: fix a small grammar issue
  (Then can placed in -> They can be placed in).
