If a new file is needed (why not just README.source?) is it worth thinking how future extensions could be added -- "support" seems much wider concept than just what distribution is accepted and people might want to add documentation of other things, eg "non-packaging bugs will ignored", or "i only update thispackage once per release" or "no patches accepted". A simple list would make that harder to support?
