Opinions about this? Yeah, probably. I’m not completely sure about moving things like patch submission and coding style in there; on one hand, it’s not something one would expect in a “user manual”, but on the other hand, it’s nice to have everything consistently maintained in one place. Another option would be to have a second .texi document for these things (like Findutils, which has a ‘findutils-maint’ document.) What do people think? Ludo’.
