Tags: patch

For whatever reason, new and would-be users come around seeking guidance
on this particular topic with some regularity. The belated proposal
before you is intended to help stem this tide and hopefully reduce the
many man-hours spent fielding such questions on IRC.

A version of this has been added as:

  commit 7563bf5704c9288ad79263d97b929a5b53279d44

I've also taken the liberty of adding a command to view etc/ERC-NEWS
because its existence appears to be largely unknown to non-contributors.
As an aside, it's also probably worth linking to from the official ERC
web page (along with the GNU ELPA package). We might also mention its
existence in the Info manual, perhaps under "Getting Help and Reporting
Bugs".
