Had I found a reference to scripts/get_maintainer.pl when I first read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches, it would've saved me some time.

Fixed the broken links in the SubmittingPatches file.
[ The old links turn out to not be broken after all, but the new links
are certainly more readable - Linus ]

It is outdated here and can be found in the MAINTAINERS file. Also
remove the URL of the previous maintainer, similar content can be found
in the SubmittingPatches file.

Unfortunately many patch submissions are arriving with painfully poor
patch descriptions. As a result of the discussion on LKML:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/15/296
explain how to submit a better patch description, in the (perhaps
vain) hope that maintainers won't end up having to rewrite the git
commit logs as often as they do today.

I was struggling to get my email-client no to mangle my patch files,
and I didn't find enough information in the SubmittingPatches file.
By looking for more information on the web, I eventually found the
email-clients.txt file, and it answered all my needs
This patch adds a reference to email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches,
and Mozilla related information which is no longer accurate
(as opposed to the details found in email-clients.txt).
This should be helpful for people sending their first patches,
or not sending patches on a frequent basis.
