>Description:
	Many folks read the send-pr docs and think they need to get a
Submitter-ID to send in a NetBSD. Tradition is that we just leave the
submitter as net. Though "net" is mentioned in the man page, it isn't
clear what our tradition is.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
	Take a relatively new-yet-inspired user, suggest they send in a
PR, let them read the man pages, and then watch them either submit an
Id request, or just be puzzled.
	I was puzzled about this when I started sending in PR's. :-)
>Fix:
	Either add a note to the man page, or to the NetBSD PR template
indicating that "net" is the appropriate resonse.
	Maybe changing the SUBMITTER variable to:

SUBMITTER="net *NetBSD doesn't use Submitter-Id's. net is fine.*"

where the first * is a less than, and the second's a greather than
symbol (which send-pr will strip, so I don't include them here).

Whoops. I just tried the above, and it didn't work. send-pr didn't
strip off the comment. I'm leaving it, though, as an idea.
