--- Comment #2 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@gmail.com> ---
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/committers-guide/#commit-steps>; for n=
ew
committers there's a ten-step

    Procedure 1

=E2=80=93 however as far as I can tell, there's no second procedure (2) any=
where in the
article.=20

For me, as a new committer with a bit for doc, step 5 of 10 should be:=20

    src/share/misc/committers-doc.dot

=E2=80=93 with mentor approval before the commit.=20

----

Pause for thought. Re: comment 0, here's the single-paragraph section of the
page in its entirety:=20

The final sentence is for joint actions, _first_ commit operations.=20

For the preceding sentence, it's implicit that addition "to indicate the me=
ntor
relationship" is performed by a mentor alone =E2=80=93 _not_ a joint action=
.=20

However, _joint_ step 5 of 10 is an addition to indicate the mentor
relationship. Two examples:=20

<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/bffc3fb3c09b36fd8740242f184d=
1e8bd8530920>

If it's true that the new account creation procedure contradicts the
Committer's Guide, then I'm inclined to:=20

1. treat the setup section of Committer's Guide as definitive

2. make <https://www.freebsd.org/internal/new-account/>=20
   consistent, and a little clearer.
