It is common to explain to partners how they can send patches on our mailing-list. While this guide was previously internal, shipping it into the public documentation makes more sense as it can help anyone who wants to contribute to the Ubuntu kernel development. A separate commit in the private documentation will be created to redirect to this new page once accepted and live. Signed-off-by: Agathe Porte <[email protected]>
