documentation/poky-ref-manual/resources.xml: re-wrote Contributions 

The information in the "Contributions" section has been migrated to
a "Submitting a Change" section in the YP Development Manual.
I re-wrote this section here to simply make a general statement
about how you can submit a change and then provided a reference
link to the appropriate section in the dev manual.

Contributions to the Yocto Project are very welcome.
You should send patches to the Yocto Project mailing list along with a "signed-off-by:"
line in the same style as required by the Linux kernel.
Adding this line signifies the developer has agreed to the Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
as follows:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
have the right to submit it under the open source license
indicated in the file; or
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
in the file; or
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
it.
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
</literallayout>
A Poky contributions tree (<filename>poky-contrib</filename>,
<filename>git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky-contrib.git</filename>)
exists for contributors to stage contributions.
If people desire such access, please ask on the mailing list.
Usually, the Yocto Project team will grant access to anyone with a proven track
record of good patches.
The Yocto Project gladly accepts contributions.
You can submit changes to the project either by creating and sending pull requests,
or by submitting patches through email.
For information on how to do both, see
