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. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <[email protected]>
