Description

CONTRIBUTING.md lists "Update CHANGELOG.md" as step 4 of the Pull Request Process, and the PR Checklist doesn't mention it but the workflow section does.

However, no CHANGELOG.md file exists in the repository. The project currently uses the release-note block in the PR template for tracking changes instead.

This creates confusion for new contributors who try to follow the guide.

Suggested Resolution

Either:

1. Remove the CHANGELOG.md reference from CONTRIBUTING.md, since the release-note block in the PR template already serves this purpose.
2. Create a CHANGELOG.md and establish a convention for maintaining it (manually or via automation like release-please).

Change Type

/kind cleanup

Additional Notes

Found while preparing my first contribution (PR #202). Happy to submit a fix once the team decides which direction to go.
