Nonetheless, you are trying to engage with the kernel community, and
will have far better results if you follow that community's norms.
Those include sending patches by email and not top posting.

They also include listening to the advice you are being given.  Like
others, I appreciate your efforts to improve our documentation; it
certainly needs it!  But please think about improving the *existing*
documentation, rather than creating yet another file, disconnected from
the rest.  We already have far too much of that.

Thanks,
