I added the readme, information about contributing and code of conduct:
https://github.com/zendtech/php-legacy-docs

I also have a draft of the license:
https://github.com/zendtech/php-legacy-docs/pull/4/files
I have no idea how to write licenses. Is the attribution good enough? Let
me know what I can improve.

Also, anything I can do to help with redirecting retired pages to legacy
docs? I can write an nginx config, a code snippet to verify availability of
legacy counterpart, etc. I booked my week for this.
