docs: use the lore redirector everywhere

2021-10-12T19:58:19Z

Change all links from using the lkml redirector to the lore redirector, as the kernel.org admin recently indicated: we shouldn't be using lkml.kernel.org anymore because the domain can create confusion, as it indicates it is only valid for messages sent to the LKML; the convention has been to use https://lore.kernel.org/r/msgid for this reason. In this process also change three links from using http to https.

doc: add maintainer book

2017-12-11T21:43:24Z

There is currently very little documentation in the kernel on maintainer level tasks. In particular there are no documents on creating pull requests to submit to Linus. Quoting Greg Kroah-Hartman on LKML: Anyway, this actually came up at the kernel summit / maintainer meeting a few weeks ago, in that "how do I make a good pull request to Linus" is something we need to document. Here's what I do, and it seems to work well, so maybe we should turn it into the start of the documentation for how to do it. (quote references: kernel summit, Europe 2017) Create a new kernel documentation book 'how to be a maintainer' (suggested by Jonathan Corbet). Add chapters on 'configuring git' and 'creating a pull request'. Most of the content was written by Linus Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman in discussion on LKML. This is stated at the start of one of the chapters and the original email thread is referenced in 'pull-requests.rst'. Signed-off-by: Tobin C.
