Contributing small patches to Emacs is easy. You report a bug, include the patch, and someone will look at it. No instructions necessary beyond "git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git", really. (See http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2014/11/13/welcome-new-emacs-developers/ for details.) If, however, you mean complete instructions on how to be an Emacs maintainer, that would be a very long document indeed, and I don't think it matters one iota whether that's on the web or in ./CONTRIBUTORS. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
