Potential patch to lintian docs



Hi,

I am including a potential patch to the Lintian documentation. Here is a simple diff;

$ git diff ^HEAD

diff --git a/README.developers b/README.developers
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..d6ec1de
--- /dev/null

+README.Developers for the Lintian tool
+---
+
+Lintian dissects Debian packages and tries to find bugs and policy
+violations. It contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian
+policy as well as some checks for common errors.
+
+This document describes how you can contribute to Lintian's
+development as well as adapt it to your needs.
+
+Lintian has a large code base which has as its starting point the
+directory "frontend." This directory holds the "lintian" executable.
+This is what gets called when a user calls lintian. 

Is this the correct process to commit patches? Do I just do a regular 'git diff' in the git repo and then mail to the list? Or is there another format? 

If the patch is accepted, do I commit via git? 

Regards,

Jeremiah
