Haha ;)  I'll be honest, my mailbox is full already.  I'll come up
with some kind of an idea.  At first, the ideas that came to me
were to edit the committers guide and/or email the OpenBSD project,
in that aspect, maybe I can kill 2 birds with one stone.

Is there a reason that the ssh(1) information in the committers
guide a little, well, out of date?
