Thanks.

> The "Branches" section in CONTRIBUTE makes a distinction between "development" and "bug fixes".  I think of this change as more of a background improvement -- of the sort that just needs to get into Emacs eventually -- than as a bug fix of the sort meant by CONTRIBUTE.  However, your mail implies that CONTRIBUTE means to include this sort of thing in the category "bug fix" too.  You probably have a better handle on the intentions behind the language in CONTRIBUTE than I do, so I'll re-interpret that section accordingly.

You need to understand the logic behind the instructions in
CONTRIBUTE: the release branch should only get fixes that are either
necessary, or are safe, i.e. cannot possibly break the release.  And
doc changes obviously belong to this latter class.

I added a sentence about doc fixes to CONTRIBUTE.
