I don't. The Emacs website is specific about low-level dev stuff (bzr 
etc.) but I couldnt find anything on what I would consider 
infrastructural things, like the paperwork or other requirements for 
contributors. Maybe I just didnt look in the right place.

So, Stefan and Chong, what exactly is necessary to make this happen? Thanks!

To use it right, you would have to have it installed before the tarball 
is created, because of admin.el setting the version number. OTOH, that 
can be changed manually, the other files 3 can be copied into the 
tarball's nt directory and it works. So, I guess you are right, it is 
not needed in the release branch.
