So far, we didn't even need any, as there was no "workflow" to speak of. It's just "any random developer finds a suggested update, either by running 'make coccicheck' oneself or by peeking Travis log, and sends in a patch".

But the "pending" thing has a lot more workflow elements, who is responsible for noticing update suggested by "pending" ones, for updating the code, and for promoting "pending" to the normal. These are all new, and these are all needed as ongoing basis to help developers---I'd say the way Documentation/SubmittingPatches helps developers is very close to the way this new document would help them.
