+  <h2>Proposing a new committer</h2>
+
+  <p>If you want to propose a new committer, you should send the following
+    information to the appropriate entity:
+  </p>
+  <ul>
+    <li>Information on what established (FreeBSD) track record the
+      nominee has.  This is <em>not</em> optional; it has become
+      standard practice over the last couple of years.</li>
+    <li>Who has volunteered to become the mentor for the new
+      committer.</li>
+    <li>The email address of the nominee (remarkably often this
+      is omitted).</li>
+  </ul>
+
+  <p>Responsible party for this procedure is:</p>
+  <ul>
+    <li>src --&gt; core@</li>
+    <li>doc --&gt; doceng@</li>
+    <li>ports --&gt; portmgr@</li>
+  </ul>
+
+  <p> You will get ACK after the message is seen, and core@ and doceng@
+    will give you a response in &lt;= 7 days.  For them, timeout is set
+    at 7 days. Portmgr@ may need more time to reach a decision.
+    If voting finishes earlier then the nominator/nominee are informed
+    earlier.</p>
+
   <h2>Authorizing A New Account</h2>
 
   <p>Someone from the list below sends a PGP-signed email to
     admins@FreeBSD.org, the person assigned as the mentor to the new
     committer, and copied to core@FreeBSD.org confirming the approval of
     the new account.  This email should include a link to this document
     so the mentor/mentee know what is expected of them.</p>
 
   <p>New account approvals are only valid from these PGP entities:</p>
 
   <ul>
     <li><p>core-secretary</p></li>
     <li><p>portmgr</p></li>
     <li><p>doceng</p></li>
   </ul>
 
   <p><i>NOTE:  New account requests from anyone other than these
     entities or requests signed with PGP keys other than from these
     entities will not be acted upon.  No exceptions.</i></p>
 
   <h2>Information Needed From New Committer</h2>
 
   <p>The person assigned as the new committers' mentor needs to collect
     and send the following information to admins@FreeBSD.org:</p>
 
   <ul>
     <li><p><tt>master.passwd</tt> line containing preferred username,
       shell, and GECOS info (no password is needed)</p></li>
     <li><p>ssh V2 public key (<strong>version 2 ONLY</strong>)</p></li>
     <li><p>PGP key for new committer (used for account recovery or other
       needs that require positive identification of the
       committer)</p></li>
   </ul>
 
   <h2>admins@FreeBSD.org Creates New Account</h2>
 
   <p>admins@FreeBSD.org creates the new account with the above
     information on the FreeBSD.org cluster and notifies the mentor and
     the new committer.</p>
 
   <h2>Mentor Activates New Committer's Commit Bit</h2>
 
   <p>After the new committer confirms that their account works, the mentor
     activates the new committer's commit bit and guides them through the
     rest of the initial process.</p>
