This page is a perfect example of wrongly setup guidelines:
* Too verbose (bullet point oriented is better for the purpose)
* Suggests to talk privately to the maintainer? Oh no, this is an open
source project, one has to
talk to the community!
* Ask for forgiveness? You simply don't do that, because a non committer
cannot commit.
And even as a committer, you should at least ask to the community before
working
on someone else module ("Hey, got this, the maintainer is not answering,
what shall we do?").
This is especially quite important since the module maintainers list in
each module is outdated
at best.
The coding bits of the page also still talk about svn... this page would be
better be just erased,
it feeds wrong or outdated practices
Cheers
