Occasionally there are efforts to contribute to the Git project that
span more than one patch series in order to achieve a broader goal. By
convention, the maintainer has typically suffixed the topic names with
"-part-one", or "-part-1" and so on.
Document that convention and suggest some guidance on how to structure
proposed topic names for multi-series efforts.

In d255105c99 (SubmittingPatches: release-notes entry experiment,
2024-03-25), we began an experiment to have contributors suggest a topic
description to appear in our RelNotes and "What's cooking?" reports.
Extend that experiment to also welcome suggested topic branch names in
addition to descriptions.
