Long ago we took the Linux Kernel documentation about adding a
Signed-off-by line and adjusted it slightly for how we organized things.
In 2003 Linus clarified the intent and then re-worded what the name
portion of the Signed-off-by line can be. Mirror that change here.

- We already have good custodian documentation for patchwork, add a
  reference and then link to it here.
- Add a reference to the existing b4 documentation, and reference it
  here.
- Note and link to patchwork integration, am/shazam and ty features of
  b4 as these are the most likely useful portions. Be specific about
  keeping the default ${summary} as that includes important information.

As seen with commit d503633a3676 ("Revert "doc: board: starfive: update
jh7110 common description""), it has not always been clear what is and
isn't allowed by custodians, and what the expectations are. To prevent
further unintentional conflicts, document the limited cases where
custodians are allowed to modify patches directly, and how to do that.

It can be unclear to contributors what to do if they haven't gotten any
feedback on patches they have submitted. Add a sentence saying that if
they feel it's been too long without any comment, it's OK to reply
again.
