We will not reject an old PR just because of that.  The conversion is
simple so it won't be much trouble for committers to just fix them
along the way.

However, if you can read the handbook and submit (as a follow-up to
the original) an updated version, that will be great.  This is
particularly true for version upgrades, as patches will most likely
fail otherwise.  (The change is around the DISTNAME/PKGNAME area.)
