Think of it differently: Write access to gentoo.git means you're given |
| 14 |
root access to all gentoo users boxes. That's where you're supposed to |
| 15 |
go through all those requirements, there is zero requirement for |
| 16 |
submitting patches. |

| 23 |
that much from what I took 10+ years ago. It only got a little |
| 24 |
refreshment from common mistakes seen over the years and now contains |
| 25 |
hints on where to find the answer. |
