[PATCH 0/2] SubmittingPatches: guidance for topic names and multi-series efforts

A note to the maintainer, I suggest queueing this as: * tb/submitting-patches Extend the experimental protocol used by contributors to propose a topic branch name in addition to a description, and describe how to name multi-series efforts. --- In [1], Junio suggested a few points to stress in our SubmittingPatches documentation, which are: - Mentioning what topics not in 'master' your patches depend on. - Suggesting one-line summaries for topics to be used as a topic branch name. - Describing your topic in the context of a multi-series effort. The first is already covered by 0a02ca2383 (SubmittingPatches: simplify guidance for choosing a starting point, 2023-07-14), but the latter two are not. The two patches part of this series address the latter two suggestions. (As an aside, we should consider whether or not the experiment started in d255105c99 (SubmittingPatches: release-notes entry experiment, 2024-03-25) can yet be declared a success, and if so, graduate it.) Thanks in advance for your review!
