Agreed but...

... c71979f just did the opposite move, so no. :-)

Yeah, probably. I’m not completely sure about moving things like patch
submission and coding style in there; on one hand, it’s not something
one would expect in a “user manual”, but on the other hand, it’s nice to
have everything consistently maintained in one place.
Another option would be to have a second .texi document for these things
(like Findutils, which has a ‘findutils-maint’ document.)
What do people think?
