There's nothing we can do about things people forget, except tell
them, sometimes post-factum, that the procedures are in CONTRIBUTE, in
the hope that next time they will look there when in doubt.
CONTRIBUTE is our basic document for this kind of stuff, and I cannot
see any way to make it more in the face of contributors than having it
in a file with a telltale name right at the top of our tree.
