Once patch files are generated, you can review/edit the commit message
before submitting them, using your favorite text editor.
Lastly, send/submit your patch set to the Buildroot mailing list:
Buildroot provides a handy tool to know to whom your patches should be
sent, called +get-developers+. This tool reads your patches and
outputs the appropriate +git send-email+ command to use:
---------------------
$ git send-email --to buildroot@buildroot.org outgoing/*
$ ./support/scripts/get-developers outgoing/*
---------------------
Use the output of +get-developers+ to send your patches:
---------------------
$ git send-email --to buildroot@buildroot.org --cc bob --cc alice outgoing/*
---------------------
Note that +git+ should be configured to use your mail account.
