2022-08-13doc: develop: Add a note about importing code from other projectsTom Rini
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.

2022-07-14doc: process: Correct and expand slightly on the Merge Window conceptTom Rini
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. Cc: Heinrich Schuchardt <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <[email protected]>
2022-07-14process.rst: Modernize the "Workflow of a Custodian" sectionTom Rini
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.

2022-07-14process.rst: Perform minor cleanupsTom Rini
- 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.

2022-07-14doc: Migrate Process wiki page to SphinxTom Rini
Move the current Process wiki page to doc/develop/process.rst. The changes here are for formatting or slight rewording so that it reads well when linking to other Sphinx documents. Cc: Heinrich Schuchardt <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <[email protected]>
