> +* New external functions should be added to the local ``version.map`` file.

These should be listed alphabetically, perhaps add a note for that.


> +     config: enable same drivers options for linux and bsd
> +     ixgbe: fix rss in 32 bit

BSD and RSS should be uppercase


> +send them with ``git send-mail``.
 <snip>
> +See the `Git send-mail 

Typos, should be send-email


+     git alias: fixline = log -1 --abbrev=12 --format='Fixes: %h (\"%s\")'

That line didn't work here - I used the following to set up the alias:
git config alias.fixline "log -1 --abbrev=12 --format='Fixes: %h (\"%s\")'"


Doxygen isn't mentioned, when creating a new header file, it should get a new page in the API docs.
