[oe] Upstreaming patches

[Philip Balister]

Saul Wold asked me about upstreaming some of the patches in OE. 
Apparently, Intel has some people who can look at submitting some of our 
patches upstream.

The question is, what do we do about attribution? The problem is that is 
not simple for many cases working out who created the patch. Rather than 
spend time chasing through the revision history, it would be simpler to 
send the patches upstream mentioning the source as derived from OE.

My thoughts are no reasonable OE contributor would object to someone 
else upstreaming their patches :), but I thought I should ask people 
what they thought.

Obviously, if there is a complex patch the situation is different, but I 
suspect most of the easy patches do not fall into this category.

Comments?
