 little whitespace shuffle to keep it under 80 chars wide.

Ok, this is the third consecutive patch to do approximately the same thing, and now you're patching lines you added in a previous patch in the same series.

Breaking files up into stages helps with bisectability. Are we really going to "git bisect" documentation?

On the larger question of "is this a good idea", I'm leaning towards "no" and would like you to explain why an 8 year old description duplicating portions of SubmittingPatches needs to be in-tree.
