The logic of the patch: I just wished to update the dependencies (first 2 changes). Then I thought, I am not Chris Lyttle and others updated the file too -> (last change) "Team" requires plural form, (change 3,4) Finally change 4 got an incomplete adjustment to current policies. I don't know if the original author still wish to get emails. In theory I would like to scan all readme etc files for keyword mail and add a note "For details see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists";. OTOH I think of people living in regions where internet access is not available or very expensive. Question: Could there be problems with the documentation, where first the locale user lists should be contacted instead of the devel list? I believe so, e.g. translation issues, misunderstanding of terms ... Your opinion?
