Link to create merge request at contributing files don't work for contributors

At https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse/escet/escet/-/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.asciidoc we have the contributing file for Eclipse ESCET. For not logged in users it looks like this:

The text "After you've reviewed these contribution guidelines, you'll be all set to contribute to this project." appears to be provided by GitLab itself.

The GitLab-provided text has changed to "After you've reviewed these contribution guidelines, you'll be all set to submit an issue or create a merge request.".

The 'create a merge request' link links to https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipse/escet/escet/-/merge_requests/new. As a logged in committer, this link works fine. As a logged in contributor, this leads to a 404.
