tag 540249 +patch thanks Dear devref maintainers,
I've prepared a patch against current svn to elaborate on the process of accepting back to the project old developers. It's based on material from the DAM announcement that's mentioned in msg #5 of this bug report. The patch is spell-checked and verified against the txt & html targets.
