I think this assumes that you have already written such high-quality
documentation of the software that an additional thoughtful high-quality
manuscript is redundant information, and wouldn't be particularly useful
anyway. That is, if your software is not up to snuff, you're going to have
much more than 1-3 hours of work to prepare *your software* for publication
in this journal.
