Are there docs on "How to add your module to drupal.org"? I couldn't
find any. This is roughly what it should cover:


1. Request a cvs-account [1]
* why use CVS?
2. Submit your module via CVS
* a logical name that doesn't conflict
* include some hints/pointers to CVS stuff
* simple walk through of steps to "your first module commit"
3. Create a project
* description of fields and what to put in them
* wait for someone to approve
* tarballs created automatically every XX hours


I don't know enough CVS-fu or about the mysteries of project module to
adequately do this.

Though there is quite a lot of information about the various topics
already present in the Contributor's guide,
http://drupal.org/contributors-guide, it could do with a
roadmap/re-organization/summary.  


Information about adding a project and using CVS is at (among other
places)
