>> 3.  During this, I explicitly ask Maintainers and Owner to confirm they will adopt the doc.
>> 4.  In parallel, I create an issue on the ocaml.org repo with a list of people to check off as agreements come in -- important that the responses happen on the mailing list as that's properly archived.
>> 5.  Once all the affirmations are in, I push the doc to the ocaml.org site.
