Mailing lists are not documentation.

Hmm.  It appears that these contributor-related instructions
didn't make it in the CG.

More good info.

Perhaps somebody-not-Mark could write the instructions in CG 1.3,
then a Frogmeister-not-Mark could proofread those instructions and
add whatever else is needed.

If you want to rename the section, go ahead.  If you want to
suggest a different location fine; I haven't really thought about
where to put it.  The important thing at the moment is just to get
it... I'll be reviewing the CG in a few days, anyway.

... actually, the *most* important thing at the moment is to get
into the habit of using the CG, both for writing and reading.
