* Pr-Guidelines: Indicate this is for BugzillaMark Linimon2025-11-111-13/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | This article has not been updated in years. There is so much wrong, that it will need to be tackled in multiple patches. This first patch simply states that the article is Bugzilla-specific, and that any use of "PR" means "Bugzilla Problem Report". In a few cases, this is now spelled out explicitly.

* committers-guide: Increase subject length limit to 67 charactersEd Maste2025-07-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I originally suggested a 63-character limit "so that git log --oneline avoids wrapping." Short hashes in the tree are typically 12 characters, and a space between the hash and the subject should result in a limit of 67 characters. I think I arrived at 63 by subtracting git's typical 4-space indentation from 67, but that indent is not applicable to `git log --oneline`.

* committers-guide: Drop notion of reference architecturesJohn Baldwin2025-06-021-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | i386 can no longer be a reference architecture in 15.0 and later. Instead, require new portable features to work on at least one Tier 1 architecture and drop the notion of a separate set of reference architectures. While here, FreeBSD has not been i386-only for so long that the leading sentence now is outdated, so drop it. Reviewed by: imp, lwhsu Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D50620
