Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing benchmark integration pattern in lighteval (e.g., see how other benchmarks are added in the 'examples' or 'lighteval/benchmarks' directory). Then implement the data loading and evaluation logic for IrokoBench, Uhura, and SIB 200 datasets, ensuring the custom tasks are registered correctly.
