[PATCH] docs: add an Assisted-by mention to submitting-patches.rst
Posted by Jonathan Corbet 1 day, 9 hours ago
We now require disclosure of the use of coding assistants, but our core
submitting-patches document does not mention that.  Add a brief mention
with a pointer to Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst

Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

This is just a minimal change in the hope that a few more contributors
will see it.  I realize that this document needs a rather more serious
thrash, but that's for later.

+Using Assisted-by:
+------------------
+
+If you used any sort of advanced coding tool in the creation of your patch,
+you need to acknowledge that use by adding an Assisted-by tag.  Failure to
+do so may impede the acceptance of your work.  Please see
+Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst for details regarding the
