On foreign distros, not using pre-inst-env when using git-send-email results
in a backtrace ending with: no code for module (guix ui)
This can be confusing as users did not have to use pre-inst-env to use
git-send-email before.

Move away from using staging and core-updates, and make the strategy

Keep the 300 dependent threshold for changes to master, as I don't have any

the branches, as I think that'll address the key issues that have shown up
recently where it's been unclear which branch should be merged next.

In an effort to homogenize things, commit
3c40dfe285 replaced:
@deffn {Scheme Procedure}
with:
@defun
However, the latter prints "Function" when all existing material about
Scheme uses the term "procedure".
Thus, for consistency, this commit switches to:
@deffn {Procedure}
* doc/guix.texi, doc/contributing.texi: Use "@deffn {Procedure}"
consistently rather than "@defun" or similar.

Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/58813>. No longer suggests to splice the

Add more examples of when it can be appropriate to push changes without
review, as I think this can be appropriate in the case of trivial changes (as
mentioned before), but also non-trivial fixes.
No longer suggest pushing simple new packages or package upgrades (that don't
cause lots of rebuilds) without sending to guix-patches. Now there's some
automation for testing changes sent to guix-patches, sending changes there
before pushing can mean that more rigorous testing takes place and help speed
up substitutes becoming available. This is true, even if no human review takes
place.
Only suggest waiting one week for review for simpler changes, wait two weeks
for more significant changes.
Also, reorder some of the information in this section so it's grouped together
better.
