+Your patch (or commit) should be a "good patch": focus it on a single
+issue, and make it be easily reviewable. Don't make
+it so large that it's hard to review; split large
+patches into smaller ones. (That can also help
+track down bugs later on.) All patches should
+be "clean", which includes preserving the existing
+coding style and updating documentation as needed.
+
+Say in the commit message if it's a bugfix (describe the bug) or a new
+feature. Don't expect patches to merge immediately
+for the next release. Be ready to rework patches
+in response to feedback.

+@section stepbystep Step by step procedure
+
+-# Create a Gerrit account at: http://openocd.zylin.com
+ - On subsequent sign ins, use the full URL prefaced with 'http://'
+ For example: http://user_identifier.open_id_provider.com
+ -# Add a username to your profile.
+ After creating the Gerrit account and signing in, you will need to
+ add a username to your profile. To do this, go to 'Settings', and
+ add a username of your choice.
+ Your username will be required in step 3 and substituted wherever
+ the string 'USERNAME' is found.
+ -# Create an SSH public key following the directions on github:
+ https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys . You can skip step 3
+ (adding key to Github account) and 4 (testing) - these are useful only if
+ you actually use Github or want to test whether the new key works fine.
+ -# Add this new SSH key to your Gerrit account:
+ go to 'Settings' > 'SSH Public Keys', paste the contents of
+ ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into the text field (if it's not visible click on
+ 'Add Key ...' button) and confirm by clicking 'Add' button.
+-# Clone the git repository, rather than just download the source:
+ @code
+ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code openocd
+ @endcode
+ or if you have problems with the "git:" protocol, use
+ the slower http protocol:
+ @code
+ git clone http://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code openocd
+ @endcode
+-# Set up Gerrit with your local repository. All this does it
