Eric,

I don't know where you looked in, but if you go to the "Linux Documentation Project: Authors - Contribute / Help" link:

http://www.tldp.org/authors/

you  will read:

"Potential volunteers should become familiar with the information contained in the LDP Author Guide (formerly known as the "HOWTO-HOWTO")".

Following the "LDP Author Guide" link, you will arrive at:

http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/html/index.html

and from there it is very easy to see the "Summary of The LDP Process" link, under chapter 2, near the top. Clicking there, you arrive at

http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/html/process.html

which says it all.
