That doesn't feel like the right place to me; those steps are going
through a specific process, the package review process, and reading
proventester instructions isn't a part of that at all. It'd feel very
jarring, to me, to have it stuck into those steps.

I think it'd probably fit better in the preamble before step 1. Perhaps
after the paragraph 'As a Contributor, you should...' we add a paragraph
explaining that as a packager you will automatically be given
proventester privileges, a short explanation of the proventester
concept, and a link out to the proventester page requesting that you
read those instructions.

Also, what do we do with existing packagers? Send a mail out to
devel-announce announcing that everyone gets to be a proventester and
requesting everyone read the instructions? Future proventester
announcements to be CCed to devel-announce?
