I think that it is inappropriate to include a manual page for committers in the base system, because so few users are committers. A much more useful contribution (and one more likely to be included) is a contribute.7 . The problem is that you've very definitely targetted committers with this page. It looks like it'd be quite a bit of work turning it into contribute.7 . In all honesty, though, I'm not sure how many people would figure out that they need to ``man contribute''. I think it's much more likely that people are going to look for this sort of information on the web pages. Therefore, this should probably be done as a patch to doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/contrib/chapter.sgml . Ciao, Sheldon.
