What bothered me a lot more is that this part (and only this part) talks about patch acceptance tip, not patch submission tip. The Gnus/Emacs section needs a total rewrite, I think. Having a separate patch acceptance tip is fine, but I do not think it belongs to SubmittingPatches document, and the current text certainly does not mesh well with its neighbours. ```
