The right file was called `README.CVS' or `README.cvs-commits' or
`README.cvs' depending on how the maintainer felt.

At some point, I added a file to Gnumeric called `HACKING' which had a
few bits on how you would hack gnumeric and *mail me* a patch that
would have a chance to be accepted.

If they caught up because of their name, it is a funny coincidence,
but the real file name with rules was a README*cvs file

(I can only see two gnome-libs and gtk+ with those files)
