Thanks @quine00 for the review so far! Sally and Robert, please take a look if the placement within the documentation set is appropriate. I chose the patching folder for the maintenance guide because that seemed like the closest fit. |

| This procedure really needs a review. I rearranged the steps but I'm not sure if they still work. | ||

You can use pull-lp-debs --download-only <source-package> [ubuntu-version] [version] like pull-lp-debs --download-only glib noble or pull-lp-debs --download-only gnome-shell 49.0-1ubuntu0

The first command works for me but when I try the second one, I get an error:
Source package lookup failed, trying lookup of binary package gnome-shell
The binary package 'gnome-shell' version 49.0-1ubuntu0 does not exist in the Ubuntu primary archive for architecture amd64
The source package 'gnome-shell' version 49.0-1ubuntu0 does not exist in the Ubuntu primary archive
Why is that?

Description
This PR adds Git, patching and packaging workflows migrated from the Ubuntu wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/git
These guides are mainly written for the Ubuntu Desktop Team but community contributors can also follow them.
Some of the content is similar in its overall purpose to existing Ubuntu Project guides but the Desktop and GNOME workflow is distinct.

Checklist
Additional notes (optional)
This documentation needs one final review by Desktop Team members. It's a draft for now.
We can adjust the placement of the files in the documentation set. I realize they don't fit too neatly.
