Oh, silly me -- Xue can do this!  Why don't we ask Xue to integrate it
now, however he thinks best, and then any of us who want to make edits
on it (and/or tweak etc/CONTRIBUTE accordingly) can then do so.  This
document covers more more than etc/CONTRIBUTE does.  In the long run, I
think it makes sense for etc/CONTRIBUTE to be replaced by this doc, and
for the former to just point to the latter for link compatibility.

This makes sense to me.

Oh it is, it is.
