Excellent.  More documentation.  I'll buy you a beer at Usenix.

I see Dima's already made some comments, so I won't duplicate them.  A few 
extra bits.

Oh look, my MUA has screwed up the quoting.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

You should get an ack in 48 to 72 hours, depending on how busy they are, 
and whether or not real life has taken them away from e-mail.  If you 
don't, feel free to send a followup reminder.

FWIW, I also pass commit bit requests through -core.  It's never happened 
yet, but it's feasible that someone might have played well on -doc, but 
have been a pain in the arse on -net, or -ports, or whatever.  Adding in a 
few more eyeballs doesn't significantly slow the process down, and if -core 
don't respond I take that as being "no objection".

Ditto for ports?  Perhaps:

[...]
If you were bought in to commit to the doc/ or ports/ trees then you should 
not, in general, commit to the src/ tree (save for documentation fixes).  
If you want to commit to the src/ tree as well you must agree this with 
your mentor (or find an additional mentor if mentor #1 is not a src/ 
committer), who must pass this by -core as well.
[...]
