There's no need since, these needs are already addressed in their own files for decades IMHO.
Readme files are a general map most of the time. Other relevant files are "Install", "Contributing", etc. Your README should be concise and refer to another text (or markdown) files in the repository.
Of course people adapt and evolve but, I don't understand the attitude of "We've just invented this". No, we didn't. README.1st, CONTRIBUTING files are as old as computing now.
