So far, we didn't even need any, as there was no "workflow" to speak
of. It's just "any random developer finds a suggested update,
either by running 'make coccicheck' oneself or by peeking Travis
log, and sends in a patch".
But the "pending" thing has a lot more workflow elements, who is
responsible for noticing update suggested by "pending" ones, for
updating the code, and for promoting "pending" to the normal. These
are all new, and these are all needed as ongoing basis to help
developers---I'd say the way Documentation/SubmittingPatches helps
developers is very close to the way this new document would help them.
