86b72726db Add a new rule to the committers: respect other contributors as well. 
There has been plenty of discussion about how to actually ratify
such rules, but nobody has opposed this specific rule (which is a
good show of maturity btw).

In the end the conclusion is that this is not really any different from
the rest of the tree: If it makes sense: commit it, if it creats an
uproar, back it out and paint the bikeshed.

QED.

d3d532c64f * RCS Date string in <date> 
* Add year to <copyright>

 * Explain how you can use CVSup to download the PR database, and then
   teach a local copy of GNATS about the files you've installed, to make
   it easier to query them without being online all the time.

   Prompted by Warner's query on -committers last month.  Doing this is
   actually fairly trivial, but I figure a lot of you'll benefit from it.

 * Change some &prompt.user; to &prompt.root; (as far as I can see, you
   need to run the commands as root).

 * Update a link to point to the Porter's Handbook.
