I did not pay close attention to the earlier discussion on MAINTAINERS, but my first thought on reading it was "why isn't this stuff just in the SubmittingPatches doc? That's where I would look for it". I guess some people might balk at the third one, as the checklist is supposed to help with a quick and easy start. But I agree with your commit log message that it isn't short or quick anymore. Of course it has been a long time since I have needed to read that document. Maybe people who have used it more recently would have more relevant thoughts. -Peff
