docs: remove the tips on how to submit patches from MAINTAINERS

Browse source

Having "how to submit patches" in MAINTAINTERS seems out of place.
We have a whole section of documentation about it, duplication
is harmful and a lot of the text looks really out of date.

Sections 1, 2 and 4 look really, really old and not applicable
to the modern process.

Section 3 is obvious but also we have build bots now.

Section 5 is a bit outdated (diff -u?!). But I like the part
about factoring out shared code, so add that to process docs.

Section 6 is unnecessary?

Section 7 is covered by more appropriate docs.
