Summary

The published contributing page (…/docs/contributing.html#improving-the-gnu-compatibility) turned relative DEVELOPMENT.md links into DEVELOPMENT.html URLs that 404.

This updates the GNU compatibility and code coverage links (and the other DEVELOPMENT.md references in CONTRIBUTING.md) to GitHub blob URLs so they resolve from the docs site.

Test plan

  • Inspect rendered markdown links point at https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/blob/main/DEVELOPMENT.md…
  • Confirm section on the published contributing page no longer 404s after merge/docs deploy

Fixes #7201

Thanks @sylvestre — updated to local relative links (./DEVELOPMENT.md and section anchors) instead of GitHub blob/website URLs. Ready for another look.

Use local ./DEVELOPMENT.md links instead of website/blob URLs.

You're right — published DEVELOPMENT.html is 200 now; #7201 looks fixed on the docs site. Closing this PR. Leaving the issue for maintainers to close if they agree.
