Uh, you can't force anybody to do anything, and most of them are no longer around. You can always encourage or ask nicely. You can also set a policy of no further commits accepted without accompanying documentation, but that could just as easily result in fewer commits and not more documentation. And this is why half of FOSS isn't well-documented. Often the docs aren't written by the same people who wrote the code. Rich
