I don't believe this patch "fixes" the other, it just makes it
possible to continue to write "Read Documentation/CodingStyle"
or "Read Documentation/SubmittingPatches" to people that
submit poorly formatted or improper patches.

I attempted to do that a bit ago but then had to write out the
Documentation/process/<foo>.rst equivalents instead.
