[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] doc/developer: Restructure docs about patch submission

[ffmpegagent]

The https://ffmpeg.org/developer.html (doc/developer.texi) page contains a
lot of good information but there's some structural and contentual
duplication that is begging for cleanup:

3 Development Policy
[https://ffmpeg.org/developer.html#Development-Policy-1] 4 Submitting
patches [https://ffmpeg.org/developer.html#Submitting-patches-1] 5 New
codecs or formats checklist
[https://ffmpeg.org/developer.html#New-codecs-or-formats-checklist] 6 Patch
submission checklist
[https://ffmpeg.org/developer.html#Patch-submission-checklist] 7 Patch
review process [https://ffmpeg.org/developer.html#Patch-review-process]

 * a Patch submission checklist clearly belongs to the context of
   "Submitting Patches"
 * a checklist about the requirements for adding new codecs/formats is
   mostly a matter of policies
 * after moving 5 into 3 and 6 into 4, another duplication can be resolved
   elegantly as 4 ends with a section about patch reviews which is then
   adjacent to the current 7 (patch review process)
 * inside 4:
   * some duplication between 4's intro and the checklist can be removed
   * the second part becomes "Submission procedures" with two subsections
     (send-email and format-patch) and the content separated in a more
     logical way

 * Removed the 5th commit due to controversial reception
   The other changes are still worthwhile for review
