I added myself because I assumed the policy for Doc/ACKS.txt to be the same
as the policy for Misc/ACKS - if you submit a patch, add your name. Looking
at the devguide, though, I can't find any mention of Doc/ACKS.txt.

Sounds good to me. The intro at the top of Misc/ACKS is pretty broad,
thanking people for all contributions (not just code). Unless there's some
plan to split the documentation off into a separate repository, I can't
think of any reason not to merge them.
