SubmittingPatches: who am I and who cares? 

The introductory text in the "long version" talks about the origin
of this document with "I started ...", but it is unclear who that I
is, and more importantly, it is not interesting how it was started.

Just state the purpose of the document to help readers decide if it
is releavant to them.

Long version:

I started reading over the SubmittingPatches document for Linux
kernel, primarily because I wanted to have a document similar to
it for the core GIT to make sure people understand what they are
doing when they write "Signed-off-by" line.

But the patch submission requirements are a lot more relaxed
here on the technical/contents front, because the core GIT is
thousand times smaller ;-). So here is only the relevant bits.
Here are some guidelines for people who want to contribute their code
to this software.
