doc: add maintainer book There is currently very little documentation in the kernel on maintainer level tasks. In particular there are no documents on creating pull requests to submit to Linus. Quoting Greg Kroah-Hartman on LKML: Anyway, this actually came up at the kernel summit / maintainer meeting a few weeks ago, in that "how do I make a good pull request to Linus" is something we need to document. Here's what I do, and it seems to work well, so maybe we should turn it into the start of the documentation for how to do it. (quote references: kernel summit, Europe 2017) Create a new kernel documentation book 'how to be a maintainer' (suggested by Jonathan Corbet). Add chapters on 'configuring git' and 'creating a pull request'. Most of the content was written by Linus Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman in discussion on LKML. This is stated at the start of one of the chapters and the original email thread is referenced in 'pull-requests.rst'. Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

This document is the humble beginning of a manual for kernel maintainers.
There is a lot yet to go here! Please feel free to propose (and write)
additions to this manual.

docs: Add a document on repository management Every merge window seems to involve at least one episode where subsystem maintainers don't manage their trees as Linus would like. Document the expectations so that at least he has something to point people to. Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
