+traceevent: 
+
+The traceevent library being built in PowerTOP is really a effort by
+Steven Rostedt.  The long term intent is for Steven to push the trace
+event library to distributions, and consume it externally.  Right now the
+PowerTOP project is keeping in sync with his code posted in the Linux
+kernel git under tools/lib/traceevent.  We will not take patches into the
+traceevent code directly, rather we will be re-basing against that code
+base.
+
+If you find a bug in the trace event code, you should to one of two things. 
+
+1. Send a patch to the PowerTOP mailing list, which will get forwared to
+   Steven if appropriate.
+
+2. Send a patch to the PowerTOP mailing list, and
+   CC: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
+
+Please do use the PowerTOP mailing list to discuss topics about
+traceevent as its used with PowerTOP.
