Only one:

Submissions should probably go to submit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, not
commits@ (which is primarily for commit messages from CVS)

Other than that... sorry, I don't know what to make of it yet :)

We could really use an official statement/HOWTO of the preferred method
for putting contrib/gnu/vendor branches in the tree... stated on the
webpage or somewhere... I know it involves putting the contrib in
verbatim, and using patches to generate the DFly-specific version before
the build, but I don't know the mechanics yet.

I assume this (gawk submission) complies with the general idea, but I'll
have to do some digging to find out for sure.
