I actually think we are OK with two duplicated and leave that for
later clean-up. The more important would be to polish the text into
a good enough state quickly.

Another thing we should not forget is to update our SubmittingPatches
document. Since we are placing extra stress on that there is NO
inherent meaning in "sign off" and it is largely up to each project,
we should set a good example explaining what it means to THIS
project to sign your patches off, and SubmittingPatches is the
document to do so. Without such an update, I think the update
to these two files we see in this patch is incomplete.

Thanks.
