submodule instructions?

[Richard Eisenberg]

Hi devs,

Are there up-to-date instructions on how to deal with submodules in GHC?

https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/working-conventions/git/submodules <https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/working-conventions/git/submodules> does give nice information. It refers to https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/repositories <https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/repositories> to learn about specific repositories. But is that second page correct? It refers to e.g. GitHub as the upstream for Haddock. Will our new GitLab-based CI pull from GitHub's Haddock? And what if a contributor doesn't have commit access?

Maybe it's all there, but I don't quite see how a contributor can ensure that CI has access to patches on submodules.

Thanks,
Richard
