Open source (Emacs) development using Bazaar (Explorer) tutorial

With the Emacs team about to switch to Bazaar, I put together a tutorial
last night explaining how *I* think open source projects ought to use
Bazaar. The tutorial uses Bazaar Explorer but the workflows equally
apply to those using the command line. The example project used is GNU
Emacs but the processes apply to many open source projects, either
already on Launchpad or capable or being mirrored there.
Here's the link:
http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/explorer/en/tutorials/open-source-dev-gnome.html
Note: This tutorial very intentionally says "this is how to use Bazaar"
instead of offering multiple options up front. I hope this approach
helps to get new users over the initial learning curve (by removing
choices).
As always, feedback is most welcome. (For example, I suspect qsend could
be more nicely configured but I don't use it myself.) I'd particularly
like to hear from the new users about anything which needs more or
better explanation.
Could someone on the emacs-developers list please announce this tutorial
there, collect feedback and report back?
Like the Visual Guide, I'm happy to see this document ported to KDE,
Windows and OS X. Please join the bzr-doc team and work with the guys
and girls there if you'd like to help with that.
