OK, but having a document like this is not in my view optional - we must have a clear, stated policy and one which ideally makes plain that it's opt-in and maintainers may choose not to take these patches. I'm not at all a fan of having a small entry hidden away in the submitting patches doc, this is a really major issue that needs special consideration and whose scope may change over time, so a dedicated document seems more appropriate.
