+Keep track of patches from your contributor.  Either upload them
+to Rietveld yourself, or help+encourage them to upload the patches
+themselves.  When a patch is on Rietveld, it's your responbility
+to get comments for it, and to add a link to the patch to the

+@item
+Encourage your contributor to review patches, particularly your
+own!  It doesn't matter if they're not familiar with C++ / scheme
+/ build system / doc stuff -- simply going through the process is
+valuable.  Besides, anybody can find a typo!

+Contact your contributor at least once a week.  The goal is just
+to get a conversation started -- there's nothing wrong with simply
+copy&pasting this into an email:

+@example
+Hey there,
+
+How are things going?  If you sent a patch and got a review, do
+you know what you need to fix?  If you sent a patch but have no
+reviews yet, do you know when you will get reviews?  If you are
+working on a patch, what step(s) are you working on?
