Hi all,
I am not affiliated to any Yocto Project member organisation, but am
assisting with integration at the Automotive Grade Linux project, which
is re-using some work from upstreams at git.yoctoproject.org
Recently members of the AGL community have started contributing patches
for meta-renesas at our mirror [1]. We would like to offer this and
future work to upstream, and I am hoping to understand so that I can
help guide AGL's activities so that we are properly aligned. Please can
someone guide us on the accepted way to offer these and subsequent patches?

Haven't seen you for a quite a while after Karlsruhe, hope you're doing
fine.
Regarding the upstreaming guidelines, the usual steps apply - ask
contributors to push patches as close to the upstream project as
possible, and just then go downstream, like this (in order of
preference):
1. Upstream components
2. Yocto meta layer (which you are reusing)
3. AGL repos
Also, it would be great if your AGL maintainers can enforce appropriate
patch tracking by Upstream-status tag + description, as it will help
everyone.
Kind regards,
Nikolay
