+   Also add as many related ("See Also") links to other bugreports
+   as possible. bugreports are never isolated.

+5. Assign the budget to the task in `"USER=SUM"` form, where "USER"
   corresponds to your username and "SUM" corresponds to the actual
   budget in EUR. There may be multiple users.
-* When the task is completed, you can submit an RFP.
-* Once the RFP is sent, notify Luke (lkcl), and update the "USER=SUM"
-  field: "USER={amount=SUM, submitted=SDATE}". The SDATE is entered in
-  YYYY-MM-DD form.
-* Once the task is paid, update "USER={amount=SUM, submitted=SDATE}"
-  to "USER={amount=SUM, submitted=SDATE, paid=PDATE}". The PDATE is
-  entered in YYYY-MM-DD form, too.
+6. When the task is completed, you can begin writing an RFP. **do not**
+   submit it without authorisation.
+7. Once the RFP is written, notify the Team Manager and obtain their
+   explicit approval to send it.
+8. Once approval is received and the RFP sent, update the `"USER=SUM"`
+  field to include the submitted date:
+  `"USER={amount=SUM, submitted=SDATE}"`. The SDATE is entered in
+  `YYYY-MM-DD` form.
+9. Once the task is paid, again notify the Team Manager (IRC is fine),
+  and update `"USER={amount=SUM, submitted=SDATE}"`
+  to `"USER={amount=SUM, submitted=SDATE, paid=PDATE}"`. The PDATE is
+  entered in `YYYY-MM-DD` form, too.
+
+Throughout all of this you should be using budget-sync to check the
+database consistency
