Re: [edk2-staging] Create new edk2-test branch

["Kinney, Michael D" <michael.d.kinney@intel.com>]

Supreeth,

Thanks!  I will add you as one of the owner's in the Readme.md.

We use the same edk2 patch method and use the same edk2-devel mailing
list. The only difference is the format of the subject line so everyone
can clearly identify staging topics from edk2 topics.  For work on the 
edk2-test branch, the subject line format would be:

	[staging/edk2-test PATCH] Package/Module: <Brief Description>

Additional details on the edk2-staging development process can be
found at:

	https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/tree/about

We can also use Bugzilla to track features and bug fixes for edk2-test.

	https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/

I may need to do some minor updates to Bugzilla so staging features and
bugs are separated from edk2 features and bugs.
	
Best regards,

Mike
