35772	Document models.Field.contribute_to_class	Clifford Gama	Clifford Gama	In `models/fields/__init__.py`[https://github.com/django/django/blob/9ca1f6eff6f19d1ae074d289c6c4209073351805/django/db/models/fields/__init__.py#L957-L958] and in the docs[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/models/instances/#django.db.models.Model.get_previous_by_FOO], it is suggested that a user may override `Field.contribute_to_class`, but this method is not documented anywhere in the docs. IMHO, it should find a place here [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/howto/custom-model-fields/] or here [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/models/fields/#field-api-reference] or both.
