Sylvain started to "rewrite" the policy but I don't know the status of
his work and he didn't feel ready to publish anything, at least last time
I asked. You might want to have a look at his not-ready-to-be-published-nor-to-be-committed-in-git
version :)
There was also a discussion to split our policy into two documents:
- a proper policy
- and reference manual.
(iirc, please correct me if I'm wrong)
But, making this happen would take more than a week, I guess.

This upload would include only documentation changes and I think it's
important to have them updated, but needs volunteers. So, thank you for
volunteering for this task and please go ahead if you want to work on it
and it will be in Squeeze.
