I'm not sure the "ack and forward" and "pull request" bits necessarily
make sense here, as I do not host git-jump as a separate repository.
I'd expect people to send to the list and cc me, and you'd pick it up as
long as I'd ack'd it.

But I'm happy to revisit that if you prefer to do it a different way. We
could even pull it out of contrib/ entirely and I could just host it as
a separate project entirely.

How about this?

Subject: [PATCH] git-jump: give contact instructions in the README

Let's make it clear how patches should flow into
contrib/git-jump. The normal Git maintainer does not
necessarily care about things in contrib/, and authors of
individual components should be the ones giving the final
review/ack for a patch. Ditto for bug reports, which are
likely to get more attention from the area expert.
