docs/submittingpatches: flesh out "how to nominate" methods
Currently they are buried within the text, making it hard to find. Move them to the top and be clear what is _not_ a good idea. v2: Minor commit polish, use only "resending" as suggested by Matt.

<h2 id="nominations">Nominating a commit for a stable branch</h2>
|

|

<p>
|
||||
There are three ways to nominate patch for inclusion of the stable branch and
|
||||
release.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li> By adding the Cc: mesa-stable@ tag as described below.
|
||||
<li> Sending the commit ID (as seen in master branch) to the mesa-stable@ mailing list.
|
||||
<li> Forwarding the patch from the mesa-dev@ mailing list.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note: resending patch identical to one on mesa-dev@ or one that differs only
|
||||
by the extra mesa-stable@ tag is <strong>not</strong> recommended.

If you want a commit to be applied to a stable branch,
|
||||
you should add an appropriate note to the commit message.

|

This "CC" syntax for patch nomination will cause patches to automatically be
|
||||
copied to the mesa-stable@ mailing list when you use "git send-email" to send
|
||||
patches to the mesa-dev@ mailing list. Also, if you realize that a commit
|
||||
should be nominated for the stable branch after it has already been committed,
|
||||
you can send a note directly to the mesa-stable@lists.freedesktop.org where
|
||||
the Mesa stable-branch maintainers will receive it. Be sure to mention the
|
||||
commit ID of the commit of interest (as it appears in the mesa master branch).
|
||||
|
||||
The latest set of patches that have been nominated, accepted, or rejected for
|
||||
the upcoming stable release can always be seen on the
|
||||
<a href="http://cworth.org/~cworth/mesa-stable-queue/">Mesa Stable Queue</a>
|
||||
page.
|
||||
patches to the mesa-dev@ mailing list. If you prefer using --suppress-cc that

||||
won't have any effect negative effect on the patch nomination.
