It is important that contributors take the review process seriously
and we collaborate in a respectful way while avoiding personal
attacks. Try and make this clear in the language.

The bullet points are quite long and contain process tips. Move those
bits of the bullet to the relevant sections and link to them. Use a
table for nicer formatting of the checklist.

Let's use more inclusive language here and avoid terms
that are frowned upon nowadays.

There where some broken links so fix those up with proper references
to the devel docs. I also did a little light copy-editing to reflect
the current state and broke up a paragraph to reduce the "wall of
text" effect.

I completely botched up the merged[0] rST conversion of this document by
accidentally dropping entire hunks (!) of text. :-( I made it very hard
for reviewers to spot it, as the omitted text was buried deep in the
document. To fix my hatchet job, I reconverted the "SubmitAPatch"
wiki[1] page from scratch and replaced the existing rST with it, while
making sure I incorporated previous feedback.
In summary, in this reconverted edition:
- I did a careful (to the extent my eyes allowed) para-by-para
comparison of the wiki and the rST to make sure I didn't omit
anything accidentally.
- I made sure to work in the cosmetic feedback[2] that Thomas Huth
pointed out in the merged (and botched) edition:
- fix the hyperlinks in "Split up long patches"
- replace ".". with "does not end with a dot" (in "Write a meaningful
commit message" section)
- replace "---" with ``---`` so that it doesn't render as an em-dash
(there were two other occurrences; I fixed those too)
- Use "QEMU" spelling consistently in prose usage
- Add a consistent "refer to git-config" link where appropriate
Thanks to Thomas Huth and Alex Bennée for noticing it on IRC. And sorry
for my sloppiness.

- The original wiki is here[1]. I copied the wiki source[2] into a .wiki
file, and used `pandoc` to convert it to rST:
$> pandoc -f Mediawiki -t rst submitting-a-patch.wiki -o
submitting-a-patch.rst
- The only minor touch-ups I did was to fix URLs. But 99%, it is a 1-1
conversion.
(An example of a "touch-up": under the section "Patch emails must
include a Signed-off-by: line", I updated the "see SubmittingPatches
1.12" to "1.12) Sign your work")
- I have also converted a couple other related wiki pages (included in
this patch series) that were hyperlinked within the SubmitAPatch page,
or a page that it refers to:
- SubmitAPullRequest: https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPullRequest
- TrivialPatches: https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches
- Over time, many people contributed to this wiki page; you can find all
the authors in the wiki history[3].
