maint: Update README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md to be explicit around Cross-Scope Privileges #169

Description

@SapphicFire

Important

Maintainer-specific issue, to be demonstrated on Week 2/3 Stream

Due to the varied nature and interactions of ActionPack contributions, the automations were set up such that Cross-scope Privileges and other security-related components cannot be included. This ensures that any of these are explicitly introduced by a customer/developer making use of these actions, who are thus expected to understand any risks and impact on their security posture.

A number of rejections under the Check Contribution automation relate to Cross-Scope Privileges, indicating that it would be valuable to be very explicit about this.

    Hi Astrid,

    Just to confirm my understanding the ask here is to update both README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md to explicitly mention that Cross-Scope Privileges are not allowed in ActionPack contributions, and to clarify this policy for contributors and users, right?

    Can you confirm this ?

    @Paulsylo25 That is correct. However, I ask that you do not action this one as it is something I intend to display on the Thursday afternoon IST-friendly stream
