Subject: [PATCH] docs: submitting-patches: Advertise b4
Date: Tue, 03 Sep 2024 23:38:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240903-documentation-b4-advert-v1-1-7415cdd74813@kernel.org> (raw)

b4 is now widely used and is quite helpful for a lot of the things that
submitting-patches covers, let's advertise it to submitters to try to make
their lives easier and reduce the number of procedural issues maintainers
see.
