Yup, we'll have a SubmittingPatches that provides the recommended work 
flow.  A really nice property of git is that if you use the various git 
tools to send patches (git-format-patch/git-send-email) then a 
maintainer can grab those automatically via git-am.  It significantly 
reduces the likelihood of loosing information in the process.
