There is not even this second step to do at all anymore, now that the
thing is generated in the pipeline. So all we need to document, now is:

    After creating the test script, add yourself to the +DEVELOPERS+ file to
    be the maintainer of that test case.

I've fixed that locally, applied to master and pushed. Thanks.

Yann E. MORIN.
