-The text of the email sets the deadline for this countdown batch. At

-To create the countdown announcement, use the
-@code{make-countdown-announcement.sh} script, which takes the
-deadline date, and optionally your name. Follow the instructions

-@subheading Helpers: adding patches
-
-The primary duty is to add patches to the google tracker; we have
-a bad track record of losing patches in email. Patches generally
-come to the @code{lilypond-devel} mailing list, but are sometimes
-sent to @code{bug-lilypond}, @code{lilypond-users}, or
-@code{frogs} mailing list instead.
-
-@itemize
-@item
-Unless a patch is clearly in response to an existing issue, add a
-new issue with the @code{Patch-new} label and a link to the patch
-(either on the mailing list archives or the codereview url).
-
-Issue numbers are cheap; losing developers because they got fed up
-with us losing their hard work is expensive.
-
-@end ignore
-@c if we enter patches immediately, I don't think this is relevant.
-@ignore
-@item
-Before adding a patch-reminder issue, do a quick check to see if
-it was pushed without sending any email. This can be checked for
-searching for relevant terms (from the patch subject or commit
-message) on the webgit page:
-
-@example
-@uref{http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git}
-@end example
-@end ignore
-@ignore
-
-@item
-If the patch is clearly in response to an existing issue, then
-update that issue with the @code{Patch-new} label and a link to
-the patch (either on the mailing list archives or the codereview
-url).
-
-@item
-After adding the issue, please send a response email to the same
-group(s) that the initial patch was sent to.
-
-If the initial email was sent to multiple mailing lists (such as
-both @code{bugs} and @code{devel}), then reply to all those
-mailing lists as well. The email should contain a link to the
-issue you just added.
