Changes to managing branches

Hey!

I've now merged the most recent batch [1] of changes to the process for
managing patches and branches. There was a previous thread on guix-devel
discussing the changes here [2].

1: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70549
2: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2024-04/msg00247.html

The most significant change is that the guix-patches issues should be
created when you create the branch. There's also more guidance on how to
manage branches smoothly.

This mostly applies to people with commit access, but people without
commit access can also lead the work on the branch. This is now
mentioned in the documentation.

If you have and comments or questions, just let me know.

Thanks,

Chris

And of course with Info in your nearest terminal/Emacs.
