As a general point for all Doc. Proj. committers -- whenever you want to 
commit outside of doc/ (even if there's a PR associated with the change)
to run it past whoever was the last person to touch the file first, just
to make sure (or check for a "MAINTAINER=" line in the Makefile, and
contact the maintainer).  If it's a more general change, run it past 
-hackers first.

Then wait 48 hours or so (longer if it's over a weekend) before doing 
anything.  

There are two typical responses to these sorts of requests for review.  One
is a deafening silence, in which case just go and do it.  The other is a 
300 message thread about whether or not a colon should have been used 
instead of a semi-colon.

In all cases where someone has actually reviewed the changes, don't forget
to include a "Reviewed by:" line in the commit message (and remember, this
is not necessary if the person doing the reviewing is the person doing the
committing -- it is assumed that the committer has already reviewed the 
patch carefully. . .)

This is the grease that helps the commit wheel move more smoothly.

 non-self-referential dummy head-node whose own object destructor severs
 the links.
