Junio doesn't directly manage the git-gui or gitk-git subdirectories within git.git; these are currently managed by other individuals and then periodically merged to git.git. Users often send patches to Junio for these directories when they should be directed at the current maintainer instead, so we should point out these special cases in the SubmittingPatches documentation.

Just a suggestion. Might help people who are new to the Git community to get involved.
