Code of Conduct

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study pip's caching mechanism, especially for redirects. Review issue #8489 for context and discuss current implementation. Look for where response caching occurs and how the 303 redirect is handled. Consider implementing caching for non GET redirects per RFC 7231.
