It's not so much that we don't want to hear it, more that we'd rather
hear
This page isn't quite right. Please review this patch, which adds
all the necessary information, and then commit it.
If you do that two or three times, preferably as PRs, and your patches
apply cleanly each time, and are accurate, I'll be banging on -core's
door to get you added as a committer very shortly afterwards.
Seriously folks, this is one of the simplest ways to get one of those
coveted @FreeBSD.org e-mail addresses. Just write good quality
documentation, or submit updates to the existing documentation, and keep
submitting it.
13 of the 55 or so committers added over the past 14 months or so have
been Documentation Project committers.

Patch patch patch. . .
I'm about to commit a change to the Handbook which tells the user to
read the UPDATING file first.
