+% Rules for maintenance:
+%
+% * Anyone can add text to this document. Do not spend very much time
+% on the wording of your changes, because your text will probably
+% get rewritten to some degree.
+%
+% * The maintainer will go through Misc/NEWS periodically and add
+% changes; it's therefore more important to add your changes to
+% Misc/NEWS than to this file.
+%
+% * This is not a complete list of every single change; completeness
+% is the purpose of Misc/NEWS. Some changes I consider too small
+% or esoteric to include. If such a change is added to the text,
+% I'll just remove it. (This is another reason you shouldn't spend
+% too much time on writing your addition.)
+%
+% * If you want to draw your new text to the attention of the
+% maintainer, add 'XXX' to the beginning of the paragraph or
+% section.
+%
+% * It's OK to just add a fragmentary note about a change. For
+% example: "XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the
+% socket module." The maintainer will research the change and
+% write the necessary text.
+%
+% * You can comment out your additions if you like, but it's not
+% necessary (especially when a final release is some months away).
+%
+% * Credit the author of a patch or bugfix. Just the name is
+% sufficient; the e-mail address isn't necessary.
+%
+% * It's helpful to add the bug/patch number as a comment:
+%
+% % Patch 12345
+% XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the socket
+% module.
+% (Contributed by P.Y. Developer.)
+%
+% This saves the maintainer the effort of going through the SVN log
+% when researching a change.
