This is more tribal knowledge that I don't think I've seen written down
anywhere else. It's not a huge issue, but when looking through the git
log, it helps to be able to differentiate the information from the old
gerrit with the information from the new one.

As the community has grown, so has the need to formalize some of the
guidelines that the community lives by. When the community was small,
it was easy to communicate these things just from one person to another.
Now, with more people joining the community every day, it seems that
it's time to write some of these things down, allowing people to
understand our policies immediately instead of making them learn our
practices as they make mistakes.
As it says in the document:
The following rules are the requirements for behavior in the coreboot
codebase in gerrit. These have mainly been unwritten rules up to this
point, and should be familiar to most users who have been active in
coreboot for a period of time. Following these rules will help reduce
friction in the community.

The previous LinuxBIOS-AMD64.tex was still working with subversion.
We need a document to give the preliminary steps to build coreboot
for a new guys.

It encourages users from writing to the FSF without giving an address.
Linux also prefers to drop that and their checkpatch.pl (that we
imported) looks out for that.
This is the result of util/scripts/no-fsf-addresses.sh with no further
editing.

[pg: removed discussion of timestamp internals that isn't current anymore in
favor of some notes for users: when to run which function, what _not_ to do.
Also moved to markdown-ish layout. Will do further style cleanups later.]

As per discussion with lawyers[tm], it's not a good idea to
shorten the license header too much - not for legal reasons
but because there are tools that look for them, and giving
them a standard pattern simplifies things.
However, we got confirmation that we don't have to update
every file ever added to coreboot whenever the FSF gets a
new lease, but can drop the address instead.
util/kconfig is excluded because that's imported code that
we may want to synchronize every now and then.
