I'm circling back around to this.
I've cloned the postgresql git repo and started looking thru
doc/src/sgml directory, looking thru the developer FAQ on the wiki,
etc.
For documentation updates such as this, where would I submit the
patch(es)? Is the process the same as other code commits?

Thanks,
