Hi,
NM guide updates was done basically without ML posting until recently
since it was mostly factual fixes and BTS was good enough.
I just added RFA related thing in the last updates. I realize, it is
about time to get more exposure :-)

I basically agree to include contents along what has been suggested.
Questions are:
1. Where do we put this?
2. Is this appropriate level of support to the TEAM thing because there
are many core packages in solo maintainer. (This is Debian and not
Ubuntu.)
3. Can we come up with a bit more neutral and shorter text?
(I like TEAM thing personally but I am not quite sure putting strong
preference on TEAM over SOLO in this document id appropriate or not)
