+This file really doesn't belong here, but I wanted to elicit comment
+without starting a discussion as to where it really does belong.
+Anyway, here goes...
+
+When the new CVS tree was set up back in May, I wanted to ensure that
+everybody at least gave some thought to asking other people to look at
+code before it is committed.  Since we have had a number of rancorous
+discussions in the past about both committing code prematurely, and
+committing code that was written by someone else, I decided to use the
+`template' function of CVS to give people a chance to think about it.
+
+The template looks like this:
+
+Reviewed by:
+Submitted by:
+CVS: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+CVS: Delete the ``Reviewed by'' line if this is somebody else's work
+CVS: (you are the reviewer).
+CVS: Delete the ``Submitted by'' line if this is NOT somebody else's
+CVS: work (you are the author).
+
+If you are making substantial or possibly controversial changes to the
+code, please talk to someone else who either has commit authority, or
+who is recognized as an expert in the BSD community.  This latter
+category includes the author of the program or subsystem you're
+modifying, like Rick Macklem for the NFS code, or Keith Bostic for
+`vi'.
+
+If the changes are insubstantial and noncontroversial (e.g., fixing
+spelling errors, or most Makefile changes) there is no need for
+review.  Please delete the ``Reviewed by:'' line, though, so that the
+logs look cleaner.
+
+If you are committing code or modifications which were originally done
+by some other person or group, them please please please make sure to
+credit them in the ``Submitted by'' line.  In this case, you are
+considered to be the reviewer.  If it is your own code, or that of
+another team member, then you should delete the ``Submitted by'' line,
+so that the logs look cleaner.
