Typo.

> + patches to the given subsystem. This is either an in-tree .rst file,

Should this mention that the file should be within `Doc/`, due to the
requirement of the current system?

By the way, are we keeping the parser change to avoid breakage in case
someone does not follow this? Or should this be

ideally, an in-tree .rst file within Documentation/ for best rendering

or similar?

(Also, if the parser is changed, then I am ambivalent about changing
the `P:` to GitHub, since the local file is available by definition,
but GitHub may not... But it is fine either way!)

Thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel
