IMHO, there's nothing like the docs to help introduce a new hacker
gracefully into a package.  To describe a feature, you need to
research the sources, to understand how things work, ask questions
(which lets you get to know the other maintainers).  Then you submit
the docs patches, which add good value to the project without actually
breaking anything important ;-)
