There is still a great deal of confusion over where patches for the
various components of the poky repository should be sent. Attempt to
mitigate this by including a blurb in the poky README similar to what
other layers and repositories do.
V2: Call out the special care required when dealing with the scripts
directory per Saul Wold's recommendation.
V3: Recommend applying patches to oe-core prior to sending patches to
the oe-core mailing list.

+Where to Send Patches
+=====================
+
+As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components
+should be sent to their respective upstreams.
+
+bitbake:
+ bitbake-devel at lists.openembedded.org
+
+meta-yocto:
+ poky at yoctoproject.org
+
+Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If
+in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify.
+Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git
+repository.
+ openembedded-core at lists.openembedded.org
+
+Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix
+ of oe-core and poky-specific files.
