[p4] How to communicate codeline policies to users?

[Roy Smith]

I've taken to putting a policy statement in my branch specs.  For  
example:

> Description:
>         Created by smithr3.  Final development branch for DMT-8.0
>
>         The only changes which should be submitted to this branch are
>         critical bug fixes in response to tickets raised by QE.  If in
>         doubt about whether it is appropriate to submit to this branch
>         or not, please triage through Rich Hammond.

The problem is that branch specs are not very visible.  It's not that  
they're hidden or secret, but you need to know to go looking for  
them.  Is there any more straight-forward way to advertise to users  
what the policy for a particular codeline is?  It would be nice, for  
example, if somebody could do "p4 policy ." and have the above  
description be printed.

How do people deal with these kinds of things in production  
environments?
