From 381f53495e662454873ff858e4d40a64e3b20a55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Zanussi Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 16:00:35 -0600 Subject: meta-intel: Clarify and relocate patch submission guidelines The current location for patch submission guidelines, MAINTAINERS, doesn't make as much sense for that information as does README, so move the relevant information there. The existing patch submission guidelines also aren't as clear and exhaustive as they could be; this change additionally adds more detailed expectations for patch submission. Both files also get a bit of reorganization and a bit more explicit text describing their purpose.
