[PATCH V2] README: Clarify where to send patches

[Darren Hart]

There is still a great deal of confusion over where patches for the
various components of the poky repository should be sent. Attempt to
mitigate this by including a blurb in the poky README similar to what
other layers and repositories do.

V2: Call out the special care required when dealing with the scripts
    directory per Saul Wold's recommendation.

+Where to Send Patches
+=====================
+
+As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components
+should be sent to their respective upstreams.
+
+bitbake:
+    bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
+
+meta-yocto:
+    poky@yoctoproject.org
+
+Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list.
+If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to
+modify. If it exists there, send the patches to:
+    openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
+
+Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix
+      of oe-core and poky-specific files.

can you also a phrase saying that rebase your patches for OE-Core on
oe-core repo
before sending ?
