2026-01-28doc: develop: process: Document using b4 and patchwork for custodiansTom Rini
- 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.

Although it has historically been different, the current standard spelling of the neutral singular possessive pronoun is "its". Signed-off-by: J. Neuschäfer <[email protected]>
2024-09-16doc/develop/sending_patches.rst: Reword where our git tree is slightlyTom Rini
We shouldn't have had the link to our git tree be contained within "``" as that meant that it did not work as a link, so remove those. And rather than make this a link plus text, keep this as a link within the text for overall clarity.

2024-09-12doc/develop/sending_patches.rst: Clarify when to use which branchTom Rini
The previous wording on the paragraph about what branch to use when submitting patches did not reflect how / when the next branch is currently used. Reword this to note that master should be used for bug and regression fixes, always, and that next should be used once it opens, with -rc2.

2024-01-13doc: fix three-dash references in reStructuredTextGrzegorz Szymaszek
The "Sending patches" and "Patman patch manager" documents refer to the three-dash, "---", that separates patch parts. The symbol is written in the documentation in the same form as it is in actual patches: as three U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS characters. When building the documentation, Sphinx converts this symbol to a U+2014 EM DASH, that is invalid in this case. Make the three-dash symbol a reStructuredText inline literal to prevent its conversion; that is, enclose it in a pair of double backquotes (`).

2022-09-01doc: process, sending_patches: Update and correct the old "Patches" contentTom Rini
- 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.

2022-09-01doc: sending_patches.rst: Incorporate the old "Patches" wiki contentTom Rini
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.
