+	Improving the GUI's
+	- gitk and git-gui are maintained upstream of Git despite being 
+	  included in Git's git repository
+	- Patches should be made against the upstream gui repository, 
+	  and not against the version in Git's git repository
+	- The resulting patch should still be emailed for review
+	  to the git mailing list (git@vger.kernel.org), cc'ing the 
+	  applicable gui maintainer
+	- Please see the MAINTAINER's file for the gui maintainer's contact 
+	  information and canonical repository location
