So I'll confess, I'm not quite sold on this one.  This is a document for
people looking to learn about how to submit patches; it is already far
too long, complex, and bureaucratic.  I'm not at all convinced that
adding suggestions for maintainers is appropriate here.

Is there a real problem that this patch is trying to solve?

Thanks,
