6042a12174 doc: Extend commit message section
If a bug exists on the tracker, its ID should always be included
in fix messages.

Also, any relevant bug fixes should be CC'd to libav-stable, so
we can actually track what needs to be backported, instead of
just randomly combing the git history and old CVEs.

ac2603be28 doc: Mention memory allocation in the fuzz testing section
It's obviously undesireable to blindly allocate memory based on
a damaged 'size' value, for example.

dc3e12d1cb doc: Mention zzuf in the fuzz testing section
It's pretty much the best tool for the job, and it's what we
all use now anyway.

b5f9b9ac36 doc: Merge disjointed bits about emailing patches
We obviously prefer git-send-email(1), and the disjointed nature
of the two statements was misleading.

a8f0814a74 doc: modify style for texi2html 1.78+
The generated HTML files are similar to the ones generated with
texi2html 1.56k used on the website.

Tested with texi2html 1.78 and 5.0. 1.78 is the minimal recommended
version.

The removed @sp from the titlepage section were ignored until
texi2html 5.0. If not removed the pages generated by 5.0 will have ugly
empty space around the title.

Author: stefano
  Date: Sat Jul  3 20:19:38 2010
  New Revision: 24023

  Log:
  State in the guidelines that function and parameter descriptions in
  the doxy must use impersonal verbal form.

  This form is apparently favored by most English speaker developers,
  and has the advantage of being easier to use than the third person
  form.

  This should hopefully put an end to the Third Person Holy Bikeshed
  War.

The change was neither discussed on the FFmpeg ML, nor approved by the
project leader.

The Holy War will continue soon on FFmpeg-devel, stay tuned ;-).
