The documentation on submitting changes to the project should cover the
ways in which the process differs for stable branches. These changes add
a brief description of the typical policy for handling changes to stable
branches and give some steps to follow when proposing changes to these
branches. The information is based on my personal experience and on the
existing content of the "How to submit a patch to OpenEmbedded" page on
the OE wiki.

The contribution guidelines would benefit from a brief section on how to
address feedback from patch reviewers and how to re-submit amended
patches. The information here is based on my personal experience and on
the existing notes on the "How to submit a patch to OpenEmbedded" page
on the OE wiki.

Add a link to our patchwork instance and note how submitted patches are
checked for common mistakes. This note is moved to the section on
submitting patches via email as that is the place where most users will
run into patchwork/patchtest.

After discussions on IRC with Ross we concluded that the `ross/mut`
branch shouldn't really be listed in the docs as it's more of a personal
test branch. Instead we should list the -next branches for
openembedded-core and poky.

The default PDF output shows only chapter headings in the table of
contents and in the outline (aka PDF bookmarks). We should override
these defaults to set something more suitable.
With a depth of 2 for the TOC we see both section and subsection
headings which is enough to get the list of classes in the reference
manual and the list of topics under "Common Tasks" in the development
manual. Going to a deeper level would make the TOC unwieldy but we do
want to make sure we can navigate more precisely using the outline
(commonly shown in a left tab in PDF viewers) so we set the depth to 5
for the outline.

There are plenty of variables in poky.yaml which are not used anywhere
in the docs. So let's remove them. We can always add the one we need
later.
Note ORGEMAIL could be used in boilerplate.rst, however this file is
not parsed but included, and somehow the yocto-vars.py exenstion does
not process this file, so we cannot use a variable there.

Patches provided in SRC_URI are only applied if their extension is .diff or
.patch. The examples do not use those extensions and would probably result
in user confusion as to why the patches aren't being applied to the
sources.
Let's fix this by giving them a .patch file extension.
