+## Submitting patches
+
+Once you've got some commits ready, you can submit them to the configured
+mailing list. You simply run the following:
+
+ git send-email HEAD^
+
+The list will evaluate and accept it or provide feedback. If you need to make
+a change do so and amend your last commit with `git commit --amend`. Then you
+can resubmit version 2 of your patch.
+
+ git send-email --annotate -v2 HEAD^
+
+You can iterate each version of your patch the same way. Use `-v3`, `-v4`, etc.
+You probably noticed the `--annotate` flag, this lets you add some extra
+information about the patch without it being added to the commit history.
+
+Please see the tutorial above for more in-depth info on how this works.
