Thanks guys! This is my first attempt to submit a patch; I've sent it to llvm-commits because the Developer Guide mentions this as preferred method:

> Once your patch is ready, submit it by emailing it to the appropriate project’s commit mailing list (or commit it directly if applicable). Alternatively, some patches get sent to the project’s development list or component of the LLVM bug tracker, but the commit list is the primary place for reviews and should generally be preferred.

I guess this part should be updated then to mention Phabricator as the primary place for submitting and reviewing patches?

I'm subscribed to llvm-commits yes (in digest mode if that should make a difference), but the message was not submitted to the list (it seems to be still in the queue waiting for moderator approval). Anyhow, I will submit my little patch via Phabricator then and refer to the Phabricator docs for procedere and finding reviewers. Thanks!

BR,
Chris

I'm therefore wondering if I should've submitted my patch via Phabricator instead (looking at the activity in llvm-commits, it seems that most of the patches are submitted and reviewed by Phabricator).
