Following up on an IRC conversation with Brendan:

The process is normally to create a git branch based on on -rc1, apply
your patches, and send them to the ARM maintainers. You then push a
signed tag to a repository somewhere, send a pull request (a git
request-pull email, not a Github PR) and Arnd, Olof or one of the
other maintainers will pull your tree some time before the next merge
window opens.

Arnd, do we have this documented somewhere for new maintainers to follow?

Cheers,

Joel
