Yes; we could do with providing a "This page seems very long..."
introduction section. The absolute bare minimum requirements
for a submitter I think are:
 * Provide a Signed-off-by: line (this is a hard requirement
   because it's how you say "I'm legally OK to contribute this
   and am happy for it to go into QEMU")
 * send patch by email
 * read replies and act on them if you want your patch to go in

The larger your contribution is, the more important the other
requirements detailed on the page are; but personally I'm
happy to manually fix up patches from a first-time submitter,
and I think most other maintainers are too.

thanks
