Pull request overview
This PR updates the kernel docs “send patches” how-to to explicitly tell contributors where to send patches (the Ubuntu Kernel Team mailing list) and how to configure that destination in git send-email, addressing the gap reported in issue #124.
Changes:
- Adds an opening paragraph stating patches must be sent to
kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com, with a subscription/info link and moderation note for non-subscribers. - Extends the reusable
git send-emailidentity snippet to setsendemail.ubuntu-kernel.toonce viagit config. - Normalizes the main heading from “mailing-list” to “mailing list”.

- There appears to be trailing whitespace on the blank line after the new hyperlink target at the end of the file. Trailing whitespace can cause lint/spelling checks to fail.

The send-patches how-to never told readers where to send patches — no mailing list address, no subscription link.
