[PATCH v1 1/5] docs: stable-kernel-rules: improve structure by changing headlines

From: Thorsten Leemhuis
Date: Sat Aug 05 2023 - 03:22:01 EST


* replace a needless sub-heading with a short intro sentence
* make "Following the submission" a proper sub-section with a headline
without changing the text of the section
