(I asked them if they were okay before doing it.) At present, some of the info there duplicates what gdb/CONTRIBUTE says (but in different wording). I expect it to grow some, and I'd rather keep it dynamic, without formal review/checking steps, which IMO for this sort of think is a too heavy process. I tailored the original text to make it fitter for gdb, but it's possible/likely there are things that need more editing to make it even fitter. I've been noticing that I often find myself pointing at the same little mistakes over different submissions. E.g., pointing at need to mention changes in NEWS. As I notice these patterns, I'll add them to the wiki. I invite others to do the same. Thanks, -- Pedro Alves
