We try very hard to include there only what's really necessary and non-obvious, you can search the archives for discussions about CONTRIBUTE to see it for yourself. But still, the instructions grow over time, because people ask questions about the details, and enough people here consider some of those details worthy to be included. > > It is clear that you personally may not need everything there, but > > CONTRIBUTE is not for you and me, or others like we. > > For whom *is* CONTRIBUTE? For people who only start contributing and need to study our conventions and requirements. If they bother reading the file, of course. (If they don't, we will inform them about the relevant conventions as part of the patch review process.)
