This seems totally sane, so you could've already done this. If sane,
just mention afterwards. Especially in cases where we have revision
control.

This bit is already documented somewhere. In some 'for maintainers'
page. So best to check where that info currently is. Don't care where it
is, as long as everything links to the same thing so the information
only needs updating in one page.

Sounds good, though I prefer people filing bugs before emailing. Emails
get lost. Bugs can be overlooked, but way harder to forget.

Ideally nazgul to document, though I'll probably do that (as mentioned
in another email).

There is no git archive that I am aware of. There is a bug requesting
such an archive (I don't involve myself with Git). bugzilla-newer and
bugzilla.gnome.org in GNOME git should be archived.
