The Japanese/Korean/Chinese versions still need updating.
Also, the stable kernel 2.6.x.y descriptions are out of date
and should be updated as well.

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

One of the roles which -mm fulfilled some time ago (to offer an
integration testing ground) has been taken over by -next. This is still
news to Documentation/HOWTO, so mention it there.
Also add a word on how patchwork is used to track patches as they make
their way into subsystem trees. Remove some arbitrary links to
subsystem repositories; they can all be found in the MAINTAINERS
database.

Remove Andrew Morton's http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/ urls, update to new
ones when necessary, delete references otherwise.
There are still instances of that living in:
Documentation/zh_CN/HOWTO
Documentation/zh_CN/SubmittingPatches
Documentation/ko_KR/HOWTO

The "Documentation" section of this file mentions that when an interface
change is made, I should be CCed with info about the change (so that
man-pages can document it). Additionally request that this info be CCed
to the new [email protected] list.

This reverts commit 722385f75e (or commit
3f27100872, it's your choice ;), since the
same patch to Documentation/HOWTO got added twice because it just kept
applying cleanly.

I suspect that not many people is subscribed to the bugzilla mailing list,
not surprising since the URLs doesn't seem to be in the tree :)
After fixing my english, I wonder if the following patch could be applied...
