Really well done. A decade later it's still a struggle to get some basic things negotiated and signed off when code is part of a submission, like an open license, a specific revision to be pinned to the paper if under version control, or simply getting the code into version control if not. This requires training up and down the line and it's helpful if authors push for these basic things because if a formal process isn't in place to handle exotic content like code, then it may get dropped from the final submission because it's simply too much of an effort for everybody.
