So it appears that the procedure could be documented better for new contributors who are not used to Emacs VC (as I am not; I use vc-dwim).  Let me explain the problem I ran into, and then perhaps we can come up with an improvement to CONTRIBUTE.

If CONTRIBUTE suggests that it is omitting a few steps.  After saving it you should do a VC-dir (C-x v d), and mark files you want to commit in the *vc-dir* buffer.  Then press v, and in that log buffer do C-c C-a.
