From 604370e106cca376f7fff2418a9c858b41bb5fd6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2021 17:39:41 +0200 Subject: Documentation/process: Add maintainer handbooks section General rules for patch submission, coding style and related details are available, but most subsystems have their subsystem-specific extra rules which differ or go beyond the common rules. Mark suggested to add a subsystem/maintainer handbook section, where subsystem maintainers can explain their specific quirks. Add the section and link to it from the submitting-patches document.
