I'd put it where checkpatch wants it.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.  I consider that periodically but I
always hate the fact that we have a dozen different places for
contributors to look for different people's preferences, and I feel
like my preferences are mostly just generic or obvious guidance, so I
hesitate to add another place.

E.g., should we really have to write down that "if the whole file fits
in 80 columns, and your patch adds 100-character lines, you're doing
something wrong"?

But I guess that's just my hubris, and my preferences are not obvious
to everybody else, and having them buried in an old email is not a
real solution, so I should probably just give up and make a maintainer
profile ;)
