Thanks for your explanation.

I understand your concern. This is also an intermediate situation
between adding it to CONTRIBUTING file or not. :) If add, CONTRIBUTING
file will grow. Otherwise, new contributors have to guess it. I think
a FAQ thread in the mailing list is also OK. If so, new contributors
will search title “FAQ” in the mailing list to get the information.

From now on, we can search “rfa rfc commit patch ob” to get the
current thread. :)
