Just to make things clear, we do not require that new modules
have existing documentation.  Existing documentation certainly
eases the burden on the documentation team, particularly for
large applications (for instance, when Evolution was proposed).
But the documentation team can and will write new documentation
for accepted modules.

We only ask that the maintainers be cooperative.  This means
answering questions about obscure behavior and helping us
address problems users might encounter, including migration
problems.
