I can help get the guidelines approved but I'm not an OCaml packager so
most of the work will be up to you guys.  Discuss the guidelines, either
put something under /wiki/PackagingDrafts/ or ping me with a copy that
you want to propose and I'll do it.  Then it would be tremendously
helpful if one of you could make it to a Packaging Meeting where the
Guideline gets discussed by the Packaging Committee.  That way you can
field questions immediately instead of me being a go-between.
