I don't know what Donald was talking about, but step 2 can be done at
any time:
2a. send a "request-assign.changes" for past and future changes to Emacs.
2b. once this is done (and before inclusion), send an email to
address@hidden indicating that you consider vimpulse.el as being
covered by the previous assignment.
Of course there are other steps:
3. Get it accepted.
4. Get it included.
Step 3 may require some more changes to better integrate it with
Emacs/Viper/Younameit. Step 4 may require waiting for a good window
(typically the best time is right after a release).
