[PATCH rtems-docs] eng/vc-users: Set up patch message with repo name

[Gedare Bloom]

Hi Ida,

I have built and checked the output, it looks good but I did make a
tiny change to remove HEAD^ with ... to be a bit non-specific, and
fixed a typo in your commit message. I would however like you to
confirm that you can build the docs :) as your next step, it is best
to confirm that patches you send build properly. Pull the updated repo
and build it to confirm you see your change properly made.

When I applied this patch, I got
warning: 2 lines add whitespace errors.
I have fixed those two lines where there was a whitespace character at
the end of the line. Although that is not such a big deal in the docs,
we prefer to avoid those trailing spaces in code. Keep that in mind.
Maybe someday we'll have a proper style checker to help ;)

Congratulations on your first contribution :)

Gedare
