Write down the correct regression guidelines

[conorpendergrast]

As discussed in internal Slack (here, and here) our current regression penalties don't correct for contributor behaviour, just contributor+ behaviour.

• 1. We should write this down in our public documentation Clarify regression penalty expectations #23112
• 2. We should remove any urgency bonuses is there’s a regression (already done)
• 3. We should apply the penalty to the C and C+ if there’s a regression
• 4. We don’t pay until 7 days after the new PR (to fix the regression) is deployed to production
• 5. We should close this SO
• 6. Update the Upwork job description to include regressions reference https://github.com/Expensify/Web-Expensify/pull/38246
• 7. Communicate in Slack to contributor-plus, expensify-open-source and bug-zero
• 8. Looking at CONTRIBUTING.md with the fresh eyes of following a process, I'll create a PR to call out Regressions as a separate sub-heading under Payment for Contributions to make it much easier to follow Update CONTRIBUTING.md to split out regressions into a separate heading #24107, and to clarify when the clock starts for the urgency bonus

PR created and in review

I've also marked this SO as obsolete, with a link to the contribution guidelines

Merged both PRs - now that it's official in documentation can we make sure to update the appropriate rooms so everyone is clear about this?

• contributor-plus
• expensify-open-source
• bug-zero
