No idea what "the source tree" means here. That node tells users to look for file CONTRIBUTE "in the Emacs distribution". Where is it in the Emacs distribution? The same node also says: It is important to write your patch based on the current working version. But there's no spec of what constitutes a "patch" - what to include in it or what form it takes. Nothing about the form of a patch file, change log etc. Is such info in the missing (?) CONTRIBUTE file? If not, where is it?
