Thank you for working to improve our documentation.  Sorry for the slow
response, you caught me at a busy time.

I do indeed have some suggestions.  To begin with, comments like the
above belong below the "---" line so that the maintainer does not have
to remove them.

Please do not send HTML mail; among other things, the lists will
probably filter them out.

The process documentation has a bunch of text on how to write
changelogs.  Here something like:

	The vger-lists page is obsolete with the recent move of many
	kernel lists; replace the link to that page with the current
	link on subspace.kernel.org

This is good but ... I wonder if there is still value in the old
vger-lists link?  Perhaps it should just come out.

Thanks,
