the current text only makes mention of posting patch files, with nothing about 
rbt or post-review existing. I agree we should probably be steering people in 
that direction though.

Maybe something like:

----
* Once you've closed the issue as submitted, please attach the final version of 
your changes as a patch containing a single commit [per the final steps of the 
contribution process][contributor]

[contributor]: http://accumulo.apache.org/git.html#contributors
----

Having a single path for contributors to take is probably a net good, rather 
than having instructions based on however they got the patch into RB.
