What would possibly be more useful to doc volunteers, and more
productive of developers' time, might be to post a draft, outline, or
series of bullet points, probably on bug-, so the doc people can take
the patch process from the start.  With devs putting doc patches on
Reitveldt, at least one doc person isn't sure whether it's a good idea
to suggest improvements to the dev who started the patch, and waste more
of his time. AIUI, to get out of this situation, Reinhold should revert
his patch, and I can then take the content and put it through channels,
handling any further work on it, while Reinhold gets back to his work.
