Move all development release notes into a new version-specific document:

    tail -q -n +3 Help/release/dev/* > Help/release/3.8.rst
    git rm -- Help/release/dev/*

except the sample topic:

    git checkout HEAD -- Help/release/dev/0-sample-topic.rst

Reference the new document from the release notes index document.
Add a title and intro sentence to the new document by hand.

Contributing to CMake
*********************

Community
=========

CMake is maintained and supported by `Kitware`_ and developed in
collaboration with a productive community of contributors.
Please subscribe and post to the `CMake Developers List`_ to raise
discussion of development topics.

.. _`CMake Developers List`: https://cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers

Patches
=======

CMake uses `Kitware's GitLab Instance`_ to manage development and code review.
To contribute patches:

#. Fork the upstream `CMake Repository`_ into a personal account.
#. Base all new work on the upstream ``master`` branch.
#. Create commits making incremental, distinct, logically complete changes.
#. Push a topic branch to a personal repository fork on GitLab.
#. Create a GitLab Merge Request targeting the upstream ``master`` branch.

Code Style
==========

We use `clang-format`_ to define our style for C++ code in the CMake source
tree.  See the `.clang-format`_ configuration file for our style settings.
Use ``clang-format`` version 3.8 or higher to format source files.
See also the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash`_ script.
