Cool.

HOWTO's are often not directly related to the project. This means
you don't need to become a maintainer.
However, if you want to use CVS for the HOWTO and want to encourage
others (e.g. other maintainers) to contribute, we can set up a general
cvs repository on va.debian.org. In that case you should become a
maintainer.
I don't consider the second way bad. :)
