Hi! After a long while since submitting patches (for allout.el and related
stuff) I have a few new ones to submit, and am trying to track down
canonical guidance on proper procedures for submitting them. (This was
spurred by bug@11312 <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11312>,
but I have some fixes for independent bugs as well.)

Traversing a maze of twisty passages (all vaguely similar) I found my way
to Sending Patches
<https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Sending-Patches.html>,
which describes a process that seems like what I used to do. But I'm
perplexed when it comes to the part that mentions "commit log" with links
to Change Log
<https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Change-Log.html>
(and
Change Log Concepts
<https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Change-Log.html#Change-Log>
in
a few ways!), seemingly interchangeably, particularly because the
lisp/Changelog.* files in my current checkout of the git repository (with
new commits from yesterday, for instance) have no updates since Emacs 24.3,
as far as I can see.

I'm guessing that I should put the equivalent of what would have been in
the ChangeLog in the commit messages, but thought I'd ask here for proper
guidance. I welcome pointers to documents I missed that would have made
this simpler, as well!

Ken
