Subject: [wwdocs PATCH RFA] contribute: link to kernel doc about patch email
Date: Tue,  6 Sep 2022 16:25:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220906202522.1402241-1-jason@redhat.com> (raw)

It occurred to me that it would be useful to link to the kernel's documentation
for emailing patches.  OK?
