Excellent. More documentation. I'll buy you a beer at Usenix. I see Dima's already made some comments, so I won't duplicate them.

You should get an ack in 48 to 72 hours, depending on how busy they are, and whether or not real life has taken them away from e-mail. If you don't, feel free to send a followup reminder. FWIW, I also pass commit bit requests through -core. It's never happened yet, but it's feasible that someone might have played well on -doc, but have been a pain in the arse on -net, or -ports, or whatever. Adding in a few more eyeballs doesn't significantly slow the process down, and if -core don't respond I take that as being "no objection". > + If you are a doc committer, you can commit to both the src > + and doc trees.

Ditto for ports? Perhaps: [...] If you were bought in to commit to the doc/ or ports/ trees then you should not, in general, commit to the src/ tree (save for documentation fixes). If you want to commit to the src/ tree as well you must agree this with your mentor (or find an additional mentor if mentor #1 is not a src/ committer), who must pass this by -core as well.
