<h2 id="submit">Submitting Patches</h2>
<p>
-Patches may be submitted to the Mesa project by
-<a href="#mailing">email</a> or with a
-GitLab <a href="#merge-request">merge request</a>. To prevent
-duplicate code review, only use one method to submit your changes.

-<p>
-Patches may be sent to the mesa-dev mailing list for review:
-<a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev">
-When submitting a patch make sure to use
-<a href="https://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email">git send-email</a>
-rather than attaching patches to emails. Sending patches as
-attachments prevents people from being able to provide in-line review
-comments.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-When submitting follow-up patches you can use --in-reply-to to make v2, v3,
-etc patches show up as replies to the originals. This usually works well
-when you're sending out updates to individual patches (as opposed to
-re-sending the whole series). Using --in-reply-to makes
-it harder for reviewers to accidentally review old patches.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-When submitting follow-up patches you should also login to
-<a href="https://patchwork.freedesktop.org">patchwork</a> and change the
-state of your old patches to Superseded.
+Patches are submitted to the Mesa project via a

-Some companies' mail server automatically append a legal disclaimer,
-usually containing something along the lines of "The information in this
-email is confidential" and "distribution is strictly prohibited".
-</p>
-<p>
-These legal notices prevent us from being able to accept your patch,
-rendering the whole process pointless. Please make sure these are
-disabled before sending your patches. (Note that you may need to contact
-your email administrator for this.)
