doc: Update rST to not reference the old wiki

2024-09-12T16:14:49+00:00

In two places we had references to the old wiki pages instead of links
to the relevant part of our documentation. Update (and slightly reword)
these spots.

doc: process, sending_patches: Update and correct the old "Patches" content

2022-09-01T05:26:28+00:00

- Use gender-neutral language to refer to the user, consistently.
- Reference the checkpatch document.
- Move the section on commit message tags to the process document and
  reference this in sending_patches.rst.
  - Reword the custodian workflow process section to refer to this new
    section, integrate some of the wording from there in this new section.
- Update the comment about GPLv2 applying to August 2022, to be clear
  this still is correct.
- Reword the section about MAKEALL to talk about local build testing and
  link to the CI document.
- Reference the system_configuration document for the note about
  modifying existing code.
- Reword the patchwork flow section.

doc: sending_patches.rst: Incorporate the old "Patches" wiki content

2022-09-01T05:23:53+00:00

Import as-is much of the old "Patches" wiki page to the current
sending_patches.rst file. This means we need to move patman to being
included in the higher level ToC and add a reference for "Custodians" in
the process document. A very minimal amount of content changing and
rewording is done here as part of the import, in order to make the
conversion easier.

doc: develop: Add a note about importing code from other projects

2022-08-13T09:09:49+00:00

We talk about importing code from other projects in two places. The
first place is in the coding style section, where we explain when to or
not to deviate in terms of white space, etc. In the process
documentation we now add a note about saying where the code was imported
from and to ensure that you do not copy Signed-off-by or other tags.

doc: process: Correct and expand slightly on the Merge Window concept

2022-07-14T18:14:29+00:00

For quite a long time we've been using a 3 week, rather than 2 week,
merge window as it was only 2 weeks during the timeframe where we did 2
month rather than 3 month releases.  This corrects the places that still
had 2 weeks and tries to make things a bit clearer overall.

process.rst: Modernize the "Workflow of a Custodian" section

2022-07-14T18:14:25+00:00

The "Workflow of a Custodian" section on the wiki had not been changed
in quite some time to reflect how the process has been functioning for
some time.  First, update some links to point to modern and current
sources of information.

Second, and more overarching, reword much of the section.  This expands
on the expectations of both custodians and developers when it comes to
rebasing patches.  Rework the final points to be clearer that Custodians
are expected to do their best to test the changes and ask for help when
needed, as well as that pull requests are expected in a timely manner.

process.rst: Perform minor cleanups

2022-07-14T18:13:52+00:00

- Use gender-neutral language to refer to the user, consistently.
- Reword a few places so that they read more naturally.
- Make the long standing practice around "Twilight Time" more clear,
  hopefully.
- Replace a reference to MAKEALL with a reference to CI testing as
  that's the current requirement.
