 Hmm, the only thing I see with this (the patch looks ok) is that the rules in
 the CG were actually a list of rules that were drafted by -core and voted on by
 the committers about a year or so ago.  I'm not sure one can just add new rules
 out of the blue, but then again there is no provision for what to do with
 proposed changes to the rules.  Nik?
 
 FWIW, the point you raise is important, and I would hope that it wouldn't even
 need to be explicit.  Then again, the same is true of respecting other
 committers.
